I haven’t seen it noted elsewhere—perhaps because they’re not “big” names—but the three leads in Monday night’s episode of Castle<\/cite><\/a> were all Canadian: regulars Nathan Fillion<\/a> (Alberta) and Stana Katic<\/a> (Ontario), and guest star Joanne Kelly<\/a> (Newfoundland).\"\" (And that’s not all… Torontonian Alex Carter<\/a> also had a supporting role.) Can’t think of another show not filmed in Canada (i.e. excluding things like Battlestar Galactica<\/cite>, Smallville<\/cite>, etc.) that’s had so many fellow Canucks onscreen at once in central roles.

Fillion’s résumé is well-known, particularly to SF fans through his work with Joss Whedon. (I didn’t<\/em> realize he was the eponymous Private Ryan<\/a>… not a surprise considering I’m the only person on the planet not to have seen that film yet.) I’ve managed to miss most of Katic’s work save for her role on Heroes<\/cite>, although she’s got quite the list of credits behind her too. But the one I was happiest to see was Kelly, who’s made her name primarily in the Canadian film and television industry, and who I thought was one of the best parts of both the third series of Slings and Arrows<\/cite> and Jeremiah<\/cite>‘s second season. If Castle<\/cite> makes it to a second season—although indications are that it won’t<\/a>—I’d like to see the Lee Wax character return.<\/p><\/div>
