I second the Sam Elliot nomination. I see him as an ex-independence general (probably because I remember him most from Gettysburg...well that and the Big Lebowski) who is living on the rim, maybe a town mayor or something that calls on Mal's help when he has a problem.

Also, Jayne's mom should be Dr. Ruth.

Bruce Campbell would be badass.

How about Christopher Walken? "Serenity. She's a beautiful ship. All she needs is more cowbell."

"A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned."

Hey, folks. No Bruce Campbell yet, but we've been quietly working on "virtual casting" for our little Firefly project at www.stillflying.net, and hope to share our choices with you soon (for all dozen or so episodes we currently have), when we make some changes to the site.

All characters who've appeared in important roles in our episodes will be cast, and that includes Ott (and his female sidekick, Nico). We've got a brilliant casting director who's found a great bunch of actors for us.

Beyond some of the choices we currently have made, I can't wait to use Josh Holloway, M.C. Gainey, and Robert Knepper.

I third the Sam Elliott. He's been an awesome actor in both military picutres (remember him first in a WWII-Vietnam miniseries Once an Eagle)and westerns and also has a great drawl that is pure Browncoat.

Another good actor would be Tom Selleck and of course Paul Newman would rock-Cool Hand Luke Himself.

Sean Bean and Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin?

I'm having a catharsis here...

I was going to say Pete Postlethwaite (Kobayashi in Usual Suspects) but my brain has gone a bit...

Sorry, what was I saying?

Oooh, Tommy Lee Jones or Gary Busey.

Christopher Walken - yeah.

Sorry, the Sean bean thing is back in my head again, and causing....
