The Edmonton Journal recently interviewed Nathan Fillion about his upcoming role in Buffy: The Vampire Slayer as well as other projects he's working on.

Here's an excerpt:

Quote:


What happened in your life after Firefly was cancelled?


"I was heartbroken to say the least. I was having a really good time with a really good cast. On the soap (One Life to Live where Fillion played Joey Buchanan), there were times you got to work and said, 'I gotta say this? I said this last week.' It's the weakness of the genre, you're left saying goofy things every once in a while. But going into work for Firefly was a pleasure every day. So when it was cancelled and under suspect circumstances, it was a real disappointment."

What do you mean by suspect circumstances?

"It wasn't a bad show. It was a really good show. We felt a little cheated in being pre-empted so much and with a not-so-great time slot (Friday nights). With Fox not airing our pilot. When it was aired, people loved it so much, the Web site is still getting lots of hits. We felt like we'd been kicked around from the very beginning. (The press) labelled us as a problem show coming out of the gate."

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Could not agree with Nathan more. Suspect circumstances indeed......
