Richard Edgar "Rick" Castle (born Richard Alexander Rodgers) is the main protagonist of the ABC crime series Castle.
He was portrayed by Nathan Fillion, who also played Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly, The Detachable Kid in The Suicide Squad, voiced Edward Buck in Halo, Hal Jordan in various DC animated projects, and Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman (2009), and will portray Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman.
Bio[]
Richard is the mystery novel writer. He got famous and rich for his character Derrick Storm, but after killing off Derrick, Castle has no idea what to do next. Luckily (for him, anyway), he’s brought in as a consultant for the NYPD when they discover a series of murders that are seemingly based on his novels. Working that one case with Detective Kate Beckett cures his writer’s block entirely, giving him a new spark of inspiration.
Personality[]
Richard is quite charming yet can be immature at times. He spends his money on frivolous things like a bulletproof vest that says “Writer” instead of “Police.” Castle can be petulant and stubborn when he doesn’t get his way, and regularly ignores Beckett’s instructions that are meant to keep him out of the way of official police work. However, his knack for solving cases makes Beckett (however grudgingly) have to admit that having him ride along is useful. Also, he’s witty and intelligent, which might make up a little for his occasional childishness.
He is like a little boy that can’t grow up and he is very childish, nice and willing to take a bullet for a little guy. Castle is the guy who can help, when people call him.
