Nathan Fillion is known for his complex TV characters from Mal in Firefly, Richard in Castle to John Nolan in The Rookie.
But now he will be taking on an even more complicated character in the upcoming Superman movie, and he won’t be as nice or considerate as past characters.
He’s a jerk!” Nathan has said of his version of Guy Gardner, also known as Green Lantern.
“What’s important to know is, you don’t have to be good to be a Green Lantern; you just have to be fearless. So Guy Gardner is fearless, and he is not very good.”
THE ROOKIE – “The Gala” – It’s Valentine’s Day, and Lieutenant Grey gives Tim and Lucy an unromantic assignment, while John and Celina track down a missing girl. Later, the team sharpens up for a charity gala where multiple relationships come to a head.
Speaking to TV Guide he added of Guy: “He’s not nice, which is very freeing as an actor because you just think to yourself, what is the most selfish, self-serving thing I can do at this moment? And that’s the answer. That’s what you do at that moment. I think if he has a superpower, it might be his overconfidence, in that he thinks he could take on Superman. He can’t!”
