Hey everyone.
It's slow here at work and I'd love to get to know you guys a little more so I was wondering.
Which character from all the episodes of Firefly would you liked to have played, given the chance. Of course being a regular would be great, but outside of these guys, which part would you have loved to sink your teeth into, and why?
Personally I'd have relished the role of Early The way he moves and the whole physical aspect of the character aswell as the dialogue Joss wrote for him. It's so unusual for a character to talk like that.
So anyway onto you all :)

Commander Harken in Bushwhacked. So much misunderstood by most contributors to this 'board. Definitely a sympathetic character for me. 
Unfortunately, I'm a little advanced in years for that role. Casting would probably have me down as Well-dressed Man in Jaynestown.

If it was a regular, it'd clearly be Simon. I mean, not only would I not have to worry too much about acting, (cause I really _am_ that bumbling and clumsy in social situations, as well as never swearing unless it's appropriate ;)) but also because I'd get regular scenes with both Jewel Staite and Summer Glau (and I don't care if she's _playing_ my sister, she's still hot. ;))
As to a side character... I can't really think of any I'd _want_ to be, but I'd be any of them (save perhaps Saffron or other females) just for the chance to be part of Firefly. I'd almost choose Tracy, except for the fact that he's too much of a dumbass for me to want to be him.

Hey he's a good one purplebelly
Would anybody like to have been one part of the Men with Hands of Blue?
I reckon if the show had continued these guys could have developed into two of the creepiest screen villains...
In Ariel the dark haired but slightly balding guy gave me the shivers with those eyes of his - very intense!!!

I get to BE "Mal" in many occasions in life. . .in Afghanistan as the 'noble sonofabitch leader-type', and in our little circle of friends, my friends often equate me to him(No. . .really. . .ask TheGreyJedi, our resident "Book", but as an amateur actor(Yay, Renaissance Festivals!), I gotta say. . .I'd love to play Mal, Wash, Badger or if they could have re-written the role as a male, Zoe.

I'm not that much of an actor.
At most I'd'a been a blue-hand, or generic background browncoat casualty, or another of Badger's, Niska's, or Higgins' thugs.
Wouldn't have minded the chance to throw spec scripts in that direction, though.

I'm about 5'4" and 8.5 stone - not much I could do in Firefly with them specs. Heck ! I think even little Kaylee is maybe bigger than me...
Dang!
Time Joss wrote for the short fella :)

I often wonder about being a background actor? I imagine for some it's a fairly desent living.
I remember back in the eighties that actor Lance Legault who played (famously) Colonel Decker in The A Team, showed up in dozens and dozens of TV shows. Just off the top of my head : Airwolf, NightRider, Magnum PI, Streethawk and so on. I reckon if you can get it right you could have a fun time doing all those shows. Maybe being a guest actor is better than the main star, as they often become type cast and have trouble shaking that T.V. persona.
Just a thought.
