Fillion appeared as big bad villain Caleb in the seventh and final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayerand Gunn took on two different roles in the first season of the spin-off series, Angel. During a recent interview with CB, Fillion was asked if he would be interested in playing an evil character like Caleb again, and he said:
“Yes, absolutely. That was the first time I played a villain. And Joss Whedon taught me a lot about playing villains. The first thing is that the villain doesn’t think he’s the villain. me. He’s not in the corner to wring his hands saying, ‘I’m the bad guy and I’m going to do something bad.’ He’s justified and it’s right, which I think makes… I’m really scared of the right people because a Once they’re right, they can’t be wrong. Whatever they want, they feel right. You can’t stop them. It’s the worst. So yeah, that scares me too.
Gunn was then asked how he ended up playing two different roles in Angel. He first played a demon named Lucas in the episode “Hero”, and then played Mars in the episode “She”. In this regard he said:
“What happened there, honestly, is that I was up for one of the lead roles in Angel at the beginning. So when the show was made, I auditioned for one of the regular characters. I didn’t get it. It goes good. It happens, but I think Joss has always been like, ‘Let’s try to find something for that guy.’ And then I came in and I played the demon and it was like, ‘Oh that was great, that was great. But maybe there’s still something else.’
“And then they asked me again, which was a great thing. But that was it. I don’t think any of that was planned. And it was certainly at a time when, nowadays , the entire season of television is written in one go. But then it wasn’t really, it was less like that. It was kind of episode by episode. So it was kind of like maybe they find a place for me.”
As for their roles in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Fillion played an inmate in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, and returned in the third film as a new character called Master Orgosentry Karja. Then there’s Gunn, who plays Kraglin as well as the Rocket on set.
It’s always fun to get a little insight like this into the shows we like!
