What I really like about Stana

How could I have missed this board?!  I never pass up an opportunity to talk about how much of a Stanatic I have become!

Anyway, like so many of you, I came into Castle a fan of Nathan's from Firefly.  I also recognized him from his small part in Saving Private Ryan.  I hadn't seen Stana in anything prior to Castle, except Quantum of Solace and when I began watching Castle, I didn't even make the connection that that was her.  A friend of mine had the same reaction – he had seen The Spirit, but didn't realize that Stana had played Morgenstern.  We both had a "She was in that?" moment over the phone. 

I won't go into how I became a fan of the show, because I've covered that elsewhere.  Suffice it to say that after seeing my first episode (Vampire Weekend), I rented the first season of Castle and from the moment Stana came down a hallway in the pilot and kicked a door in to find a suspect I thought "Who is this woman? She is fabulous!"  Then her "You've no idea" sealed it – I've been a devoted Stanatic ever since. 

I looked her bio up on IMDb and was even more impressed by the fact that she's fluent in like 5 languages and can sing.  It also tickles me that we're the same age and almost the same height (I'm an inch taller, if we're both in flats)!  The more I watched the show, the more impressed with her talent I became – what versatility to be able to do comedy and drama and do it equally well.  And those facial expressions!  Love2  And this website has only served to increase my fandom – hearing stories of others meeting Stana, watching interviews, finding out when her other work will air, etc. 

To narrow it down, I love her intelligence, humility, devotion to her craft, sense of humor, ability to kick ass but also be as vulnerable as a little girl, and especially her laugh and smile.  Shock Crazy2 Love2

I've now seen her in The Librarian, 24, The Unit, and, thanks to youtube: Feast of Love, ER, Alias, JAG, and The Closer and cannot wait to see her future work.

Dear everybody from the Philippines… wave: maligayang pagdating. Now that you've found each other, could you please create a "Castle in the Philippines"-topic in the "International" sub-forum, and continue your conversation there? I want to come here and read about Stana :tongue: :laugh:

I wish I knew how to quit you.

Aside from the obvious, I think you would like Stana because of her respect for her craft.  She looks at the role and what she can do with the role to make the best performance she can do even if the movie does not deserve it.  She tries improve on her craft by taking lessons and be more educated with it.  If you really love what you do you will go places in what you are doing and I think she will do just that.

To keep this thread alive and on topic, I'll post one of the many things I really like about Stana Katic.   I love that she is a genuinely gracious person who truly values her fans who watch the show and support the work that she does 17 hours a day just to turn out a 1 hour show for us every week.  Sometimes she comes off very shy, like at the Paley event, when it was interpreted as possibly being cold, but when she is around her fans, she is so warm and generous with her time.  And she also  makes the effort to do things like her Fan of the Week contest, which is really sweet because it shows that she has an interest in her fans and likes to see the ways in which they express their love of the show.

It just makes me proud to support the career of someone who stays real and doesn't take her fans for granted  Love2

that's really sweet of her. i also think its a big thing for any artist to say "Ive never had fans before…" and that tells a lot about her 

personality. i love that she is shy and friendly at the same time. it makes me love her even more reading posts from here.

What I like about Stana is that she not really like any other actress. She seems like she loves to laugh and she has a beautiful smile smile. She's seems really sweet and very nice. Also I love how she can act funny one time and the next she's serious.
