Finally got to see Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog. By the time I got home from work yesterday, the site had crashed. Anyway, I thought it was cute. Up to a point.

UO- I think NF is massively, massively overrated. I mean, don't get me wrong. He's a really likable guy, and he's quite cute. I like him, but with the exception of Caleb (who suuuuuucked and was a two-dimensional character), he just keeps playing the same guy over and over and over again in various incarnations.

Call him Capt. Tightpants, or whoever it was he played in "The Waitress" or the love interest he played on "Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place" (or whatever the sitcom was called) but he's always Joey Buchanan, just Joey in different shows.

(If that's an obscure reference, NF was a kid actor playing Joey Buchanan on the soap "One Life to Live" before he ever found Joss Whedon or prime time.) I always like Joey, but whenever I see him, I find myself thinking it's still Joey Buchanan.

I think I have to agree with you (except I liked Caleb - he was quite creepy). But, yeah, he's a pretty one dimensional actor, as far as I can tell. Of everything I've seen him in, I liked Firefly the best. I thought he was dead boring, for the most part, in Drive.

And re-reading my post in your reply:

See! Even when I mean "Nathan" I call him "Joey!"

I'm afraid he's always be little Joey Buchanan to me.

Oops! Forgot to sign in (which means I cannot edit "he's" to "he'll.")

Hee.

I saw a clip on YouTube when he went back to OLTL for Asa's funeral. That's as much as I know about Joey. LOL

Then you missed the best part of Joey... which was that as a sixteen year old virgin he had an affair with his mother's lifelong frenemy, the decades older Dorian Lord... and it worked!

Trying to describe it sounds so oogie (made funnier I suppose by yesterday's scene when she was screaming 'PERVERT!' at her ex-husband yesterday and threatening to cut off his balls with pruning sheers. Even though he didn't do what she actually once did do - have an affair with a minor). Anyway, somehow, someway they pulled off the Dorian/Joey affair and made it (dare I say it)... endearing

Do they still have that soap network that was playing old shows? Because *this* is made for that network. I wonder if they'll ever put old soap opera episodes out on DVD.
