Capt. Mal gives Buffy a run for her life Firefly star Nathan Fillion is joining the cast of UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a key role in the series' final five episodes, Variety reported. Fillion will play Caleb, a former man of God who's turned to the dark side and now follows the First, the trade paper reported. Buffy creator Joss Whedon also created the short-lived SF series Firefly for Fox. "Nathan Fillion has a leading man's looks, but he's actually horribly evil, so he makes Caleb the epic foil for Buffy that he needs to be," Whedon told the trade paper. "Caleb calls himself a preacher, but his habit of murdering girls and his alliance with the darkest evil known to man makes him exactly the sort of guy whose ass Buffy needs to kick." 3/10/03
