Nathan Fillion

Nathan Fillion, Waitress

One of the most underrated movies of the year was the indy darling by the name of Waitress. It was a solid movie with no huge stars, but managed to have more heart and charm than any big budget film could have ever paid for. One reason for this was the solid performance by Nathan Fillion. He played the awkward doctor who engages in a torrid, yet sweet, affair with a married woman played by Keri Russell. I am sure that you have all become familiar with the plot of this one by now. Fillion stepped up to the plate in something that wasn’t a science fiction story and it is safe to say that he knocked this one out of the park. He played a likable guy who you just couldn’t help think was acting very stupid for a man who practices medicine. One pretty much was waiting for the bottom to fall out, but yet, we would feel horrible for Fillion’s character if it did. Trust me on this one folks. You will never see adultery any more acceptable than it is in this film.
