Appearance: Serenity (2005)
Creator: Joss Whedon (from his 2002 Firefly television series)
Performer: Nathan Fillion
Defining moment: Reynold’s St Crispin’s Day speech. Impassioned oratory with a suitably Whedonesque summation. “No more runnin’. I aim to misbehave.”
Fascinating fact: Whedon originally wrote the part for Nicholas Brendon (Buffy’s Xander). Shooting schedules made it impossible, so Fillion stepped in.
