GAH! It's just... no... that's so wrong...

Joss is quoted as saying 'The most difficult part to cast was Inara. We [initially] cast someone and it didn't work out. Its nothing against the actor, but I felt the shift in the energy - 'this is not one of the crew'... 'When Morena came in, it was as though she had always been there.'

Morena had been offered an audition initially but turned it down because there was no script and she was in New York at the time... Its she who says that ' they had cast the part and then fired the person' and at that point she again tried for the part...

Morena's smile and facial expressions makes all the difference to the role...

In my head, I know it. But, you know, I've never really linked it before.

And now Anthony is watching Sliders and it's the episode with her in it and all I can do is shudder. I mean...

Seriously? No.

No way in hell could she have played Inara.

Thank you Morena, thank you very much.

I agree. I couldn't see anyone, barring none of the big name actresses in Hollywood, that could have brought Inara to life the way Morena has done. I don't know of anyone that could have pulled off the grace and dignity of Inara the way Morena has done.

Very true.

I wonder if it might actually be a negative for her acting career, though. How many roles are there for beautiful, graceful, dignified young women? Most Hollywood casting for female parts seems to start and end at "cute".

Morena: too classy to get work...

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

Yeah...

All you guys are SOOOOooooo-oo-oo-ooooo correct - couldn't agree more.

For what silliness it's worth, Morena is now on my list of the "Seven (yeah, I know... "7"... it's wierd)... Most Beautiful Women Alive"... and part of what puts her there is All of That Lovely (Julliard) Talent.

You rock, girl! Love the cowboy hat!

Joss sure does seem to have a knack for finding the right folks for his shows.

Thanks, Morena.

Well there is that role for Wonder Woman, she's supposed to be graceful and elegant, right?
