Geekcake. GeekCAAAAAAAKE!

I must question the inclusion of Nathan Fillion, however. Hot, yes. Geeks like him, yes, but AFAIK there's no evidence that he, or his character is geeky (well, at least, Malcolm Reynolds isn't. Perhaps he's played a geek elsewhere).

I think the other actors fit, at least in terms of characters - I gather that 3 play doctors and Duchovny clearly represents the UFO/conspiracy geeks.

But I'm not sure where Fillion fits. Kaylee was way geekier. So were Wash and Simon.

He played himself as a somewhat geeky Arrogant Worms fanboy on the Three Worms and an Orchestra DVD. But I doubt that one's well-known enough to merit listhood ... :p

If he's played a fanboy of any stripe, that COULD qualify as geeky. As fanboy of strange Canadian band, perhaps doubly so ;)

Hmmmm ... let himself be filmed phoning and begging to be included in Edmonton concert, repeated takes of sneaking past security door (his timing was off and he kept getting his arm slammed in it), and then alone in front of "homemade" blue screen singing "We are the beaver" and dubbing his head over all the orchestra members in the concert footage ... yeah, guess that DOES qualify (only somebody who was a geeky fanboy in RL would do all that ***GRIN***)
