## Resource

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk join Dropping Names for a wildly funny, nostalgic and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about decades in the business… from Firefly and Star Trek conventions to Saving Private Ryan, Disney villains, Shakespeare with Patrick Stewart, and the night Nathan may or may not have saved the crew in Dallas. They talk about early acting jobs, being fired as waiters, soap opera survival, audition heartbreak, working with Spielberg, Tom Hanks, James Gunn, and what it really feels like standing across from fans who’ve waited hours just for a moment. This isn’t an interview. It’s four actors swapping stories from a lifetime in the industry.
