Nathan Fillion auditioned for a role specifically “looking for a Nathan Fillion type” and didn’t get the job
Nathan Fillion said he once auditioned for a role that was specifically seeking a “Nathan Fillion type”, but he did not get the job. The anecdote, shared on a podcast in November 2025, highlights the unpredictability of casting and the screen persona audiences associate with the actor.
Fillion did not name the role. The article suggests it may have been Nathan Drake in a planned film based on the Uncharted games, a character fans saw as resembling Fillion and Harrison Ford’s adventurous heroes. Fillion publicly campaigned for the part, but the eventual film starred Tom Holland as a younger Drake; Fillion later appeared as Drake in a fan film.
In short
- Fillion missed out on a role seeking his type.
- He did not identify the part.
- Tom Holland eventually played Nathan Drake.
