I personally like these few quotes listed below:

RT: So do you think a lot of fans of "Serenity" and "Slither" will like you in this role?

NF: I'm counting on it. I am counting on every "Serenity" fan, and every "Firefly" fan, and every "Buffy" fan, and every "Slither" fan, I am counting on them to see this movie. If this movie fails it is their fault. I'm glad you let me get that clear. I finally had a voice.

kinda sounds like he was displeased with the browncoat turnout for slither? hmmm maybe...

RT: In a lot of your previous projects you had a comedic role ("Firefly," for instance). "White Noise 2" seems like more of a serious role. How does that change your approach to the character?

NF: You know, my job changes very little because I've found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become. When I watch TV I can tell when someone is punching the joke and telling me when to laugh (I'll decide when to laugh, thank you very much), or I can tell when someone is just being in a situation or being under some circumstances that make me laugh, like I'm glad that that's not me. I think that the secret to comedy is not playing the comedy, but actually playing the situation, playing the drama of it.

So playing the drama of a drama is no stretch. What I did love is that they actually put in something very funny in "White Noise 2." I can't even tell you what it is.

I can tell you that they put in a little nod to "Firefly." That was really nice to do, but it might get cut out. They didn't film any options, so almost the whole scene is out, which I don't think it will be. There's a little nod in there to "Firefly," which I'm really happy about, it really honors me.

There's that stuff coming up. That's my niche. Six foot tall and funny, can make you laugh. My manager always likes to say that, "you can do the drama and you can do the comedy." I've found my niche.

i'm interested to know what that is.....i guess i'll HAVE to see the movie now...

Liked the part about "jaws"

Well, Im going to go and see White Noise 2, hated the first one, but Im hopeing that Nathan will somehow redeem this one. Also saw slither not long ago, mostly because Nathan was in it, but it was good.

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

Nathan is the master of the deadpan snark. Just read some of the other things he's said about Whedon, Gunn, WN2 --- I think this harks back in a way to the Whedon comment to fans about Serenity: "If it sucks, it's your fault."

Side note: I notice he's been falling on his face again. Gonna look like a cauliflower in another few years. This is *bad* management. IMHO, of course...

uh oh. when Nathan's talking about trading cards with his costar, guess who's name they misspelled?

"I'd be totally hacked if Stimutacs wasn't so . . ."
"Outrageously chill?"
"Word."
