10 Small Actors Who Really SHOULD Catch A Break

6. Nathan Fillion

There are many unsolvable mysteries in the world, and the strange lack of mainstream leading roles in Nathan Fillion's career is one of them. The actor is unbelievably good at what he does, and is a talent who can bring plenty of appeal to what could be very dull characters. Firefly may have been cancelled after one season, but he proved in that show what he is capable of. Yet, surprisingly, he hasn't gotten a big break since then.

While he has made appearances in some notable projects, he seems to be an actor who is solely located on TV screens, with significant positions on shows like Castle, Con Man and many more. But there is real untapped potential in his ability as a major big-screen actor, especially in the superhero universe.

There are a few personalities who always seemed destined to play big roles in the MCU, and Fillion is one of them. Therefore the fact that his eventual casting consisted of a small voice role in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie is a massive disappointment.

His upcoming appearance in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad should hopefully be the long-awaited big screen break that he deserves as it is a very large scale and highly anticipated project. We can only hope that his character of TDK isn't there to simply be killed off.
