Richard Castle

Richard "Rick" Edgar Castle (née Richard Alexander Rodgers) (Nathan Fillion) is a famous author who weathered through 20 rejections before he got his first manuscript published. He keeps his first rejection letter framed on his wall at home to keep himself motivated.

After weathering the backlash from his fans and nagging from his publisher, who is also his ex-wife, Castle is requested to help NYPD Detective Kate Beckett with a murder case that copycats scenarios from his previous novels (written before "Derrick Storm" series). Working alongside Beckett gives Castle a new source of inspiration and, after assisting Beckett with the case, Castle takes the opportunity to use his knowledge and skills, and his close friendship with the Mayor, to stay on with the NYPD in a consulting capacity. In the seventh season finalie "Hollander's Woods", an incident in Castle's past is revealed that had led to his ambition to become a writer.
