Custom image of Nathan Fillion with a mustache and chin hair for Disney+'s animated series Monsters at Work

The Big Picture Inspired by the Disney and Pixar movie Monsters, Inc., the animated series Monsters at Work follows Tylor Tuskmon , a monster who dreams of being a Scarer at a time when the city of Monstropolis is shifting its focus to children’s laughter. In Season 2, Tylor must decide whether to continue his journey as a Jokester alongside his idols Mike Wazowski and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan or be drawn in by an offer from Johnny J. Worthington III and FearCo.

NATHAN FILLION: Thank you for that. I wish I could take more credit. I, too, love to indulge in anything Disney and Pixar. When you’re telling a story one pixel at a time, and they’re painstaking over it, there are no details left untouched. It’s incredible what they come up with. The level of imagination that they are tapping into, they’re such talented people.

FILLION: That’s a question that we get a lot. I always tell people, “Listen, don’t get too caught up in the title. It’s a metaphor for life, not a position in the police force.” It’s not about being a rookie police officer. It’s about being a rookie at life. It’s about starting fresh and starting over with nothing to go on. It’s about having the courage to drop everything and start again. That’s what it’s about, as far as being a rookie, so I’m not too troubled by that.

FILLION: As a younger man, I always wanted my characters to be liked because I wanted to be liked. The insecurity of being an actor, you wanna be liked, so you want your characters to be liked. I thought that meant being perfect and having a perfect character, but there’s really no such thing. People are flawed and characters are flawed, and playing flaws is so rewarding. It is such a gold mine of choices for how and where to take the story.

FILLION: Yeah, his outer shell doesn’t bely his inner self. What’s dangerous about him and what’s maybe not so great about him is that he’s such a nice package on the outside. FILLION: It’s a little of both. If I was just watching this program, I’d be learning about these characters as we go along. You learn through watching people’s choices, and that’s the same thing with these characters. I just get to learn it a little quicker than the audience because I get ahold of the script a little earlier. You see their journey and you see what’s important to them and what matters to them. In his heart, this is where he lives.
