There are some people who act as sort of entertainment pied pipers: Something just makes us follow them from project to project, occasionally getting us to watch stuff we never would otherwise. Here are some of our favorites: heroes, villains, Whedonverse alums and deserted-island survivors.
Nathan Fillion

"He's the entire package: dramatic, comedic, romantic," said Joss Whedon, back when Serenity first came out. "I honestly believe he's Harrison Ford, if given a shot. And, yes, he's genuinely a good guy. Not only nicer, but occasionally more articulate than me. That's why I don't like him." Ah, but that's why we do.
Wil Wheaton

He's come a long way since Wesley Crusher, and he's spent that time building a career as a writer and amassing a frightening amount of geek cred. So when he drops by a show it feels like it's because he wants to have fun and that sense of fun permeates. Even as Evil Wil Wheaton. Especially as Evil Wil Wheaton
Firefly/Serenity's Summer Glau and Gina Torres were also mentioned.
