Early Life, Family, and Education

The younger son born to June and Robert Fillion, who both were English teachers, Nathan has an older brother, Jeff, with whom he spent his childhood in Mill Woods, a residential area in Edmonton. Nathan went to Holy Trinity Catholic High School, and later enrolled at Concordia University of Alberta and the University of Alberta, during which time he was a part of the Kappa Alpha Society.

Career Beginnings

Nathan moved to the USA, settling in New York City in 1994, but not before he worked in several theatre, film, and television projects in his native Canada. He was a part of the improvisational theater Theatresports with Rapid Fire Theatre, and also appeared in the improvisational soap opera entitled “Die-Nasty”.

Once he moved to New York, Nathan started auditioning for various parts, and got a pat on the back with the role of Joey Buchanan in the soap opera “One Life to Live” (1995-1997), when he left the show to pursue other projects, though he eventually returned for a brief guest appearance in 2007.

Throughout the ‘90s, Nathan made several notable appearances, such as in the part of Johnny Donnelly in the TV series “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” (1998-2001).

He started the new millennium with the role of Father David in the critically-acclaimed fantasy horror film “Dracula 2000”, starring Gerard Butler, Justine Waddell and Johnny Lee Miller.

Rise to Prominence

As the 2000s developed, Nathan became more popular as an actor, and as a result was cast in the lead role in the highly-acclaimed TV sci-fi action series “Firefly”, which although airing for only one season, won a number of prestigious awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award. Nathan then got the lead role in the action-adventure film “Serenity”, starring next to Gina Torres and Chiwetel Ejiofor, and continued in the same manner in the second half of the 2000s, starring in the sci-fi horror “Slither” in 2006, a film directed and written by James Gunn, and in 2007 starred with Keri Russell in the drama film “Waitress”.

“Castle”

The show aired for eight seasons on ABC, before being canceled in an abrupt ending. Nathan won a number of awards for his performance, including four People’s Choice Awards.
