Pixels: Separated at Birth?

[tmcg]

The main problem I have with Firefly is that Nathan Fillion looks and sounds like Gale Harold, but he's not Gale Harold.

I'll get over it as I get to know the character Mal Reynolds better, and when Queer As Folk comes back and I'm getting new hits of Brian Kinney. But last night I just kept running up against it.

If I can find two photos that exemplify the resemblance (which may be too much in the manner and voice to be evident from stills, and, further, may be purely a product of withdrawal), I'll include them on an update.


[Update: I actually tried pretty hard to find matching images, and I was right that the resemblance isn't there in static photos. But I looked at some video clips on the Firefly site, and I was also right that it's there in the voice and mannerisms. And I found out from the QAF site that the third season doesn't start till March of next year! Aieeeeeeee!]

Hmm. I just don't watch enough tv. What is Firefly and who is Nathan Fillion? URL?

Not at all on topic, we did go to see Spirited Away Saturday evening. Thanks so much for giving me the Heads Up. It was beautiful.

So glad you liked Spirited Away!

Firefly is a new series from Joss Whedon, the Buffy guy, and Nathan Fillion plays the ship's commander. I watched because I wanted to see what Whedon would do with space adventure. It's on here on Friday nights. If you start watching and get hooked (my jury's out till I see a few more eps, assuming the network doesn't bail and actually shows them), I have tapes.

There's one fansite (among others) here (http://www.fireflyfans.net/), and Fox's page is here (http://www.fox.com/firefly/).

Fillion used to be on One Life to Live, the only American daytime soap I ever followed, but I didn't make the connection till I went looking for photos on his bio pages. Weird.
