Nathan Fillion as Richard Edgar "Rick" Castle: Castle is a best-selling mystery writer. Born Richard Alexander Rodgers, he adopted the middle name Edgar in honor of Edgar Allan Poe. Castle was plagued with writer's block after killing off his popular lead character, Derrick Storm, whom he no longer found inspiring. He then found himself involved in the case of a copy-cat killer recreating murder scenes from his novels, investigated by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett. Castle discovers a new source of inspiration in her and soon uses his friendship with the mayor of New York to become involved in her investigations, affording him the opportunity to use his knowledge and skills to help solve murders. He is twice-divorced and shares an apartment with his daughter and his mother. Earlier seasons of the show depict him as an immature womanizer; however, later seasons show a more mature and sensible side of him albeit only slightly . His close working relationship with Beckett results in him falling in love with her and in the final episode of Season 5, he proposes to her.
