I'm a Halo guy. The Bungie folks were kind enough to have me do a voice for Halo 3. So there's nothing like sitting down to a nice game of Halo and shooting at myself. I like to get online, and the reason I like it is I've got a lot of friends in Canada and New York, all over Los Angeles and at great distances. Sometimes I take off for months at a time to go work, and my social time is on that box. You put on a little headset and unwind with your friends. You hang out, you laugh, it's good times. And when it's all done, you don't have to send anybody home. No one's drunk all your beer. You just say, 'Good night, I'm going to bed,' and it's off and it's done.[1]

Nathan Fillion (born March 27, 1971 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a Canadian actor, best known for his lead roles in the television programs Firefly as Captain (formerly Sergeant) Reynolds, and [[1]] as the titular character Richard Castle. In Halo 3, he supplies the voice of Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds, named in homage to Fillion's most famous character. Not only does Nathan Fillion provide the voice for Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck in Halo 3: ODST, but the character's physical appearance was modeled after the actor as well. Fillion also reprised his role as Buck for a cameo in the Halo: Reach level New Alexandria,[2][3][4] and also provided the character's Firefight voice.
Trivia
- Nathan Fillion and Tricia Helfer (the voice of Captain Veronica Dare) recorded most of their voice work for Halo 3: ODST in the same recording booth, which is rare in voice acting.[5]
- Nathan claims to have invented the Radar Jammer when asked about his Bungie Armor on Xbox Live.
- Throughout the campaign and in Firefight his character Buck can repeatedly be heard saying "'Bam!' said the lady", a piece of slang used to emphasize conclusiveness that Fillion thought up and is trying to promote. The phrase can also be heard on Fillion's detective show Castle.
