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

I can see Fillion being a closet geek. Why else would he do a film like Slither right after Serenity? I think he loves sci-fi. Just like Ben Browder - after doing Farscape, he always said in interviews he'd love to do more sci-fi, then he got the gig on SG-1.

Oh Hells, Yeah. In addition to being one of the Pretty Roughnecks.

I saw this pic of him at a con, wearing his glasses. I swear, he looked just like the young English professor that all the girls swoon over.

Or sorta like that bit from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with the one girl hitting on Indy.

"Professor Fillion, can I come by for some individual tutoring during your office hours?"
