I already said that I would just LOVE to see Bruce Campbell play a recurring character in Firefly, because, well, it'd just be PERFECT. Nathan and him would have a really shiny chemistry, imo, and Bruce is just so good playing likeable, grouchy scoundrels.

I could also see Michael Ironside play a bad-ass bad guy, although I guess he'd be too similar to the cop in The Message.

Just for giggles, I would like to see Rebecca Gayheart play a guest role as a companion, to see how THAT would have gone. She's not my type, but it would be interesting.
Does anyone have the footage that was taken with her as Inara before Morena was cast instead, btw?

I also think that Jet Lee would make an incredible operative or something like that.
As a side note, I noticed that so far we've only seen Chinese EXTRAS, and even those very scarcely, and that's in a 'Verse that's supposed to be heavily influenced by Chinese culture. What gives?

So who else do you think would fit for one role or another in our beloved series? Preferrably not replacing existing characters.

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!
September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)

Jet Li was who I had in my head as Carlton Wei Fen, (though I described him as Eurasian.)

Bruce Campbell would be hysterical. Particularly as an Autolycus type. (I feel crack-fic coming on...) In fact, you have just broken my brain.

I do that a lot.

Care to give me some linkage?

Who would you have playing Ott, if they ever filmed 'Those Left Behind'? Possibly Tony Leung?

I think we would have met Chinese characters - Li Shen was a buddy, who had an Operative moment in the BDM.

Linkage to what, sorry?

The name Carlton Wei Fen doesn't ring a bell, so I thought it was from a piece of fan-fic or something.

Tony Leung would be a good Ott, but we haven't seen a lot of Ott, anyways. Jet Lee would have been fine for that role as well, if not for that "drop the gun and kick it in his face" thing, which I personally would find weird, seeing that Ott couldn't dodge it.

Fanfic is the Another Girl, Another Planet fic. Here and at Fanfiction.net. I see things cinematically, and with a soundtrack

I'd appreciate feedback, if you like the thing.

I really should be checking out the Blue Sun Room more.
I'll read it later today and share my thoughts.

Oh man,
I clicked on this with Bruce in mind, not because I think it needs him but just because he's so friggin awesome in everything. But Brisco County makes it a lot clearer.

A cameo or two from some spaghetti western stars would be cool, Clint Eastwood might be out of the question, but Eli Wallach would fucking ROCK!
Also Franco Nero, Ernest Borgnine or Giuliano Gemma would be cool.

But man, just think how cool villains Charles Bronson, Lee Van Cleef or Klaus Kinski would have made.

Kris Kristofferson would make a cool father figure for Mal, like one of the shadow ranch hands or maybe his superior officer from the war. Halfway between rubber ducky and Whistler.

Paul Newman or Robert Redford or better yet both.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid would be total fucking Mexico.

And Christopher Walken because he’s scary and would make a kick arse cowboy.

I think Mr Cobb Snr would be a scary-ass mix of Clint Eastwood and Kris Kristofferson. (I will be pursuing this matter further...)

Rutger Hauer would be way creepy - Operative or officer, something senior and dangerous.

That bloke wot plays Lionel Luthor (I've blanked on the name) also does a nice line in creepily oppressive authority figures.
