Nathan Fillion has had the odd luck of gaining passionate fans for shows and films that haven’t hit hard in the mainstream. He’s probably still best known at present as Captain Mal Reynolds on Joss Whedon’s FIREFLY and its theatrical sequel SERENITY, but ... toplined the hilarious horror comedy SLITHER and won critical kudos for his work as a lovelorn ob/gyn doctor in the indie comedy WAITRESS. Fillion may have had a flash of déjà vu in heading up the ensemble cast on DRIVE, an action drama that debuted as a midseason replacement this year. Like FIREFLY, it ran on Fox,was executive-produced by showrunner Tim Minear (Joss Whedon’s fellow executive producer/showrunner on FIREFLY) and, like FIREFLY, it got canceled very early – in this case, with only six episodes in the can. The final two air back to back on Friday, theThirteenth of July. This interview was conducted before DRIVE’s fate was known.
