Nathan Fillion just doesn't seem like a serious enough actor to play the Cap. Or at least the roles he plays always has the quirky silly edge to them that I don't envision the Cap having.

Yeah, I've enjoyed everything I've seen him do, but Captain America? I'm a little skeptical, but I guess a lot depends on the writing and directing.
