Elizabeth Banks, a colleague of Fillion and Gunn in the movie Slither, exclaimed, “This is fantastic!! Keep it up, JEFF!” Melissa O’Neil, a fellow actor from The Rookie, reacted with astonishment, asking, “Is this for real??” followed by more Laughing Face emojis. Meanwhile, Jonathan Frakes, director of Star Trek: Insurrection, playfully hinted that Jeff was preferred over the Man of Steel.

It appears that Fillion values a close relationship with his brother Jeff, often expressing appreciation for his impact on his life. On June 17, 2024, the actor posted on Instagram, revealing that both his brother and father had contributed to every achievement in his life. He described growing up with them as a source of great joy and listed them among his dearest friends. Fillion also referred to them as intelligent, talented, kind, and worthy of admiration.
