I found out about the work of actor Nathan Fillion when he was on Firefly, and have\u00a0enjoyed watching him ever\u00a0since. I think that his comedic timing is to be commended.\u00a0He is able\u00a0to be the funny\u00a0character or the straight, dead-pan character with what appears to be the same ease.
