Nathan Fillion might be the greatest TV star of our generation right?

Lead of cult legend Firefly, 10 year of Castle (never watched it myself but undeniable it was popular) Up to 8 years of the Rookie, ill stop and watch an episode every now and then.

Has guest star spots on almost every huge hit of the last 15 years. Big Bang theory, modern family, Brooklyn 99.

Not saying he is the best ever but does anyone see him in a tv show and not enjoy what he brings?

He is a talented guy for sure. I enjoy his work. Greatest though?

Bryan Cranston played a dorky dad in a really popular show and then played arguably the greatest tv character TV has ever seen for his encore. I would love to know who has that kinda range on the TV.

Only guy i know is John C Reilly but he is a movie guy. Talladega and Boogie Nights, baby!

Scott Bakula had a pretty good run with Quantum Leap, Star Trek Enterprise and NCIS Nola.

Michael Landon had a damn good 30 year run from Bonanza, Little House, and Highway To Heaven.

From generation X I think he's in the discussion. From older generations off the top of my head I would think about Betty White and Andy Griffith. Danny Devito has had a pretty solid run too.

I’m a fan. And he’s pals with Mike Rowe too. Great listen with Nathan on The Way I heard it podcast.

Gotta say you aren’t making the best pitch for it here

How could anyone leave out his great work on “Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place”?

The Rookie was a nice idea but sucked due to typical Hollywood writing.

Glad to see this was addressed. I was coming in here to post exactly this.

2GaGaaPP/2GaaG is an excellent show. Rewatched it about a year and a half ago and it’s still great.

Yep. Gave us Ryan Reynolds as well. And the girl who worked for Monk. Can't remember her name. Traylor?

Adam Baldwin and David Boreanaz had a friendly animosity towards each other on Angel.

Traylor Howard, yes. Cute and sexy AF. Here was my thread about it last year with lots of pics.
