Fillion was the ' face ' of Complete Hero. The artist explained the choice of Fillion as follows : `` I wanted to make a piece of work that looked at all kinds of heroism, not just the usual derring - do of white square - jawed men. But I thought it would be interesting to start with a white, square - jawed man and Nathan Fillion agreed to take part.
