Nathan Fillion Get Staring Role in Drive

TV geek alert! <b>Nathan Fillion</b> — star of cult favorite <i>Firefly</i> and a one-time guest on <i>Lost</i> (as Kate's husband) — will star in <b><i>Drive</i></b>, a Fox midseason drama exec-produced by <i>Firefly</i>, <i>Wonderfalls</i>, and <i>Angel</i> producer Tim Minear, TV director Greg Yaitanes (<i>Lost, Prison Break, House M.D.</i>), and scribe Ben Queen (<i>Century City</i>). As the title suggests, the show revolves around an underground cross-country race; Fillion — replacing Ivan Sergei (<i>Jack & Jill, Charmed</i>) from the pilot — plays a landscaper pulled into the event after his wife is kidnapped.
