CHARACTER BIO
Richard Castle, roguish best-selling author, is the consummate man's man, ladies' man, and man about town - nearly as well known for his tabloid-generating antics as for his immensely successful novels. With two ex-wives in his past and his fifteen-year-old daughter and live-in mother watching his every move, his life is never short on drama. But now, having just killed off his most famous character and with his publisher ex-wife breathing down his neck for his next book, he's in desperate need of inspiration. When Castle is pulled in by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett to advise on an investigation, he discovers his next muse and a new calling. Turns out all those years of research for his crime novels paid off. Castle now has the opportunity to use his unique knowledge and skills to help solve murders, much to the chagrin of Detective Beckett.
ACTOR BIO
He may have had a stethoscope around his neck on both the big and small screens recently—as Dr. Adam Mayfair, the new neighbor on Wisteria Lane and much younger husband of Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delany) on Desperate Housewives, and as Dr. Pomatter in the film "Waitress"—but as mystery novelist Richard Castle, this guy is really making us take a deep breath now.
Fillion's other film credits include the Universal film "Slither," co-starring Elizabeth Banks; "White Noise 2"; "Serenity," which reunited him with director Joss Whedon; "Saving Private Ryan"; the independent film "Water's Edge"; "Blast from the Past"; "Dracula 2000" and "Doubting Reilly." On television, Fillion earned an Emmy nomination for his role in the daytime drama One Life to Live. Other TV credits include the ABC movie-of-the-week Ordeal in the Arctic, as well as roles in the series Drive, Two Guys and a Girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pasadena and Miss Match.
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Fillion wanted to be a high school teacher and studied at the University of Alberta. He later starred in productions at the Edmonton Fringe Festival and performed with comedy groups in town before moving on to pursue an acting career in New York and Los Angeles.
