During the discussion phase, someone asked Nathan  a question about best practical jokes he's played on-set and he said he was constantly texting Seamus Dever and telling him he's late for his on-set call, or texting Molly Quinn and telling her she's fired (toughening her up for the biz, haha) And he said that Stana got a really good one on Seamus, she told him he was going to have a scene undercover where he had to strip down like a Chippendales dancer.  They kept it up for 4 days and kept bringing out little speedo type things.  So I guess he was really watching what he ate, even more than usual, etc.  They had to let him off the hook since he was going on vacation in Mexico.  Haha.  Sounds like a really fun set.

Thanks for the recap and pictures. Must have been a lot of fun.

Yep Nathan is well known as being a practical joker and from the You Tubes I've seen when he's been taking about it, he's been lynched a few times too. The guys on Firefly got him back a few times. His favourite practical joke are the "slower cooker" ones, he sprung one on Alan 4 years later. He set it up during Firefly and it was sprung on Alan during Serenity so I have no problem seeing him doing the same thing on Castle. Better be careful Nathan, they WILL get you back and I'm sure Stana has a few practical jokes up her sleeve too :)

Awesome article on the event

Nah, he said it was something he put on the set.

One other question that was asked of Andrew Marlowe during the discussion was "Why weren't there any female mystery writer poker players."  His response was "there were some who were asked and declined (they didn't feel comfortable on screen), but they have or will extend the invitation to others."  So there will be more poker games and we might see a female mystery writer next time.
