Denver Comic Con 2017 Guest Spotlight - Nathan Fillion

Written by John Edward Betancourt

I often get my recommendations for new shows and movies to watch by way of my close circle of friends. After all, they're my buds and our tastes are usually quite similar so when they let me know there's something I need to see, I do my best to watch it as soon as possible and recently my close friend Scotty let me know that I absolutely needed to see Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix for several reasons, one of them being Nathan Fillion's guest spot on the show. 

I followed his recommendation, and had a hearty laugh at Nathan's role, but what stuck with me most, was the fact that his name came up as one of the key reasons to watch this show and while his role was brief, it was still incredibly impactful and I guess that shouldn't come as that big of a surprise because Nathan is well...an instantaneous draw. Everyone knows his name, and everyone knows that if he is going to pop up in a particular role that it's going to be a good time and the fun that comes with Nathan is one reason why he has such a massive following. 

But perhaps the biggest reason that he's a fan favorite is because Nathan seems to approach every single role with a sense of honesty and realism and that earnest style of acting makes him instantly relatable and it's also made him one of the hottest and most in demand actors around. He's done tons of voice work roles, popped up in pop culture shows everywhere and he is also well known for his roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Castle but he is best known for inspiring legions of Browncoats thanks to his portrayal as Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds in Firefly. 

Truly, one could call Nathan a modern day pop culture legend and the man that can motivate legions of fans to watch a new show just on a cameo alone...is coming to Denver Comic Con 2017. That's not a joke ladies and gentlemen, Nathan was announced yesterday afternoon and he will be at the Colorado Convention Center Saturday and Sunday to greet what will no doubt be legions of fans and well, I'll just say it now...holy cow, Denver Comic Con landed one heck of a guest in Nathan.  

I mean come on, Nathan is about as big of a draw as it gets when it comes to the geek world and to have him at DCC, that's something special. Which means that I cannot stress this enough. Get your tickets now. Don't wait, don't debate, just go get them now because with guests like this being announced left and right, I won't be shocked if tickets once again sell out for this great convention. So head to the DCC ticketing site, get yours today and I will see you in what will no doubt Nathan's incredible autograph line come the end of June.
