oh God Bruce could wreak untold havoc and the combination of him and Jayne scares me no end...mind you Sam Raimi and Joss are my two favorite directors, but their styles are so different ( I digress)
I'd so love to see Chris Eccleston doing something similar to his doctor who...that'd be fun
or how about Catherine Zeta Jones as the head of Inara's companion house...hmmm I could go on forever

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Yes!

Blind fury or, Holy shit! SPLIT SECOND!!!!

There ain't much on this earth more fun then 90 minutes of Rutger Hauer crazy as fuck on sugar and coffee chasing the devil through 5 inches of water.

I'm so glad someone else has seen this film. Everyone else just stares at me, especially when I yelped at the Matrix rip-off of Tony Goldwyn's line - he'd do for a part.

David Carradine? I'm going with the QT/Shaw brothers vibe.

Don't count out the big names; show them the series and they might pull a Whoopi Goldberg.

(Whoopi was known as a movies-only name back in the 80s, but when she heard about Star Trek: TNG, she begged for a guest spot and became Guinan. What I'm sayin' is, we get 'em hooked, and they might decide to slum in TV-land for a bit.)

Me, I'll echo the Bruce Campbell vote.

Also Patrick Stewart. I know what you're thinking, but Steamboy showed me that the guy's got range (he plays this addled, half-psychotic old engineer, spends half his scenes ranting and raving about God's Will and such) --you just don't see it 'cause he's always typecast as the cerebral leader-figure. Plus, every candid thing I've seen suggests that he'd get along great with Nathan & Joss' senses of humour. ("I think the question we should be asking ourselves is: can one really be involved in 'too many' franchises?")

And yeah, we need more Asians. Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Linda Park, Michelle Yeoh, Ming Na. . .

Bruce Campbell? Hell yes!

How about Michael Clarke Duncan for an arms dealer, upscale core arms dealer...

Sam Elliot would make an excellent Browncoat too.

I like Catherine Zeta as a companion...

Sarah Chalke as Kaylees sister..

While I'm on the Scrubs line, how about Neil Flynn and John C. McGinley as part of the crew Bruce runs with. Add Patrick Warburton and they could be part of Jaynes clan even.

oh Sam Elliot! *FMF says this with reverance and droolyness*

I nominate Sean Bean. But only as a "good guy".

Cause now its in my head it won't leave.

I think bruce (ash) cambell would be perfect. have him be one of mal's mentor farm hands from home.

"And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community."

I guess once we get a new series, we're gonna have to bring Bruce to Joss' attention.
He'd get along with the rest of the family quite well, too. There would be much joy and merrymaking.

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.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

I agree - Bruce Campbell rocks!!

His acting has so much more range than is normally used - yes he can do heroic (but goofy), as per Brisco and the Evil Deads etc, etc - but he can also do "real" drama and damn good pathos see: American Gothic, Homicide and Bubba Ho-Tep.

I'd also like to see Gary Cole, several Ozians (including the great Lee Tergesen and JK), and yes, Leung Chi-Wai would be great as a major "Asian" character, he has a greater range than Jet Lee - I loved him in Cyclo.
