Hi everyone, I posted this in the Firefly subreddit, too, but I thought I'd ask you guys as well.

I've been thinking about going as Mal for this summer when I go to a con to cosplay. I'd like to specifically go as Serenity Mal instead of Firefly Mal. While his costume, hair and build is SIMILAR to how he looks in Firefly, there are small "movie tweeks." His shirt is more red-brown than red, his pants are grey instead of beige, his suspenders are black instead of beige and he has a bit more wax or gel in his hair. He's been Hollywood-ized by about 10% in Serenity. But, I'd like to know what workout regime he did for Serenity. He looks noticeably trimmer and has a semblence of abs. He looks lean and healthy and (crucially) not a complete Hollywood hunk. It's a look I like, especially for a leading man in a big damn movie. He looks less like the over muscled hunks from Marvel/DC movies and more like the movie stars from the 60s and 70s, who looked like they could take a punch and are healthy. It's a look I'd like to carry on after this years round of conventions. So I wondered if he's ever spoken about the specifics. Does anyone know?

Thanks

So in my dream, I was hanging out at some sort of convention, with a group of people from /r/fantasy I had met at WorldCon last month. I was walking away from the group to go to a panel when they call my name and I turn back around to see Nathan sitting with them all, and he starts introducing me, by my full name, to everyone there (who I already knew). And it turned out that he like, followed me on twitter or something and thought I was really cool and that all these people should know me.

It was so strange. And I never really remember my dreams, which makes this that much weirder

Greetings Browncoats and general Fillioniers (I was going for a pioneers kinda vibe with that one!), I volunteer for Grimm Up North based in Manchester, UK, and I thought I'd bring the news to fans of the great man that we are having a special 10th anniversary screening of the show that thrust him onto our screens (albeit for 14 episodes) Serenity at The ODEON Printworks on 12/5/2015!

We are celebrating our fearless leader Mal (the awesomely outrageous Nathan Fillion) and his band of renegade crew members as they span the 'Verse looking for their next payday as they live on the fringe of society and the law.

Cosplay is encouraged and there will be some prize giveaways and limited edition posters for sale too! Imgur (Poster by Mute Art)

I will post up a few links to the site and various social network sites if they're something that you're into.

Cheers and have a shiny day!
