Your All time favourite TV Character
 
Who is your All time favourite TV character or film character and why.

For me, it would be Andreas Katsulas, sadly dead, but best remembered as G'Kar from Babylon 5.

A tribute to him is here.

Very difficult to answer. I think a spur of the moment answer would be Mork mainly cuz of the fond memories

Not a character, but a presenter John Noakes (Blue Peter).

The first person to come to mind when I read the thread title was Benny from Crossroads. His innocent childlike character has stayed with me all these years. :)

G'Kar was a brilliant character. Andreas Katsulas is sorely missed :(

Just saw an ad earlier today that the cast of Glee are going to be on Oprah. I dont watch Glee or Oprah so dont know when it's going to be on but it should be on soon

Ya and he's so funny. Has he starred in anything else. I love the woman as well who plays his mother. She is comical and was very funny as well in Darma and Greg. I used to love that as well and the Guy was hot in that also. Come to think of it the woman playing the mother in both shows had two hot guys as her sons. Lucky thing :D

Re: Your All time favourite TV Character
 
He was the lead role in the Sci Fi hit Firefly that got messed around by the stupid yanks and canceled it however it was made into the movie Serenity

here is a full list :)

Re: Your All time favourite TV Character
 
Castle & Firefly/Serenity would be the two things he's best known for (Castle more so now, probably).

Fillion-fans (& anyone else who likes cult TV, comedy, or musicals) should also watch Joss "Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Dollhouse" Whedon's Dr Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog, which starred Fillion as the super-hero "Captain Hammer" & Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) as the wannabe super-villain "Dr. Horrible", along with Felicia Day as "Penny" (the girl they both want). Very funny.

What other programmes his he in that dont include Sci-F as I dont like them.

Firefly was more like a cowboy / western series than a sci-fi one - worth a look if only to make up your own mind whether you like, or not ;)

Sasha222 30-05-2010 00:02

Re: Your All time favourite TV Character
 
Is that still on now. Castle is the only thing that I have seen him in

Re: Your All time favourite TV Character
 
Firefly only lasted one season before Fox cancelled it. It did have a follow-on movie though called Serenity (zing did mention this above ;) ).

Definitely worth watching though. As gaz said, it's more of a Western in ways anyway than a SciFi series.

I think we need to get back to the topic though, before this turns into a Nathan Fillion Appreciation Thread

(although of course posts about Captain Mal or Richard Castle are on-topic ;) )

Will def get the film. Not a bad idea for him to have an Appreciation Thread for all of us women :D

'All time' favourite TV character is very difficult - I've been watching TV for over 40 years, in the end I have to conclude it is David Attenborough who has given me the most pleasure during that time ...

Others such as David Jason & Joanna Lumley deserve 'honourable mentions' :)

Good choice, I think Edmund Blackadder is any of his various incarnations just pips him though...

Doctor Who in all his regenerations, but especially William Hartnell. I too also honour the memory of Andreas Katsulas, a fine actor.

My Dad. He's only been on the TV once though, many (many) years ago.

Still my favourite, 'cause he's my Dad :)

Re: Your All time favourite TV Character
 
I'll go with G'kar though to be honest many of the Babylon Characters are equally memorable and charismatic in their own individual rights.

some of the quotes at IMDb show just how brilliant they were.;)

A great show.

I was genuinely sad when I read about this a year or so ago. It made the intro monologue for the latest straight to dvd episode they did (The lost tales) very dramatic and a little sad, well worth a watch. G'kar and Londo together was always a winner for me.

Seconded. Was nice to see him in Universe the other day. Though I have to say he has put on some weight in the last few years.

Jack Bauer from 24 for me by a long way.

Always knows what to do. Always does it perfectly

Rigsby from Rising Damp. I loved Leonard Rossiter's Reginal Perrin too. A tad disappointed with Martin Clunes' effort although it was still enjoyable.
