I would like to have seen Patrick Stewart playing the evil corrupt commander of an Alliance Cruiser.

Maybe some of the cast from Babylon 5, lot of good actors there.

How bout Buffy; maybe coming in as Mal's long lost sister and getting it on with Jayne (now that would be a Firefly moment).

That's, who *should* guest star someday, when Firefly *does* continue.

Ryan Reynolds from nathan's TwoGuys/Girl days...him and Wash would have perfect comedic timing together.

Laurence Fishburne would be perfect. And if Wash thought he was insecure with the Captain around...Laurence Fishburne, whew.
How cool would it be to have him as the only man who can make Zoe go "girl giggly"...

Bruce Campbell... hmmm, yep, I could see that. But SMG? Somehow I find myself considering the size of her in comparison with the rest of Serenity's crew. Look at it this way -- remember how slight Jonathan Woodward was by comparison with the rest of the crew in "The Message"? And how much he towered over SMG in "Conversations with Dead People" back on BtVS?

Hell, for that matter, look at the comparative sizes of Caleb and Buffy in the latter parts of Buffy season 7. She's but a wee slip of a lass, who Jayne would likely trip over while en route to his bunk...

Anyways, I'm leery of putting in people who are or were regulars on another Whedon series. There's so much history bound up into the actor, when you've watched their exploits for five-plus solid years.

On the other hand, Jeff Kober would be intriguing to see. He's got that right devil-may-care look about him to be a browncoat. Others I'd like to see would include Mark Dacascos and Russell Wong.

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

Quote:

In "Shindig" the guy who plays Atherton Wing ALSO played Duncan Idaho in Sci-Fi's "Dune" and "Children of Dune."


He also played Sydney Bristow's fiancee who got himself murdered in the Alias pilot.


And who else saw Saphron 'Reynolds' in an episode of Tru Calling a few weeks back?

Here's my list of who should guest star:

Andrew Robinson: DS9's simple tailor, Garak.

Rosanne Barr: As Jayne's mother

Dan Castellaneta: It's always fun to see Homer.

Dennis Franz: He's gonna be outa work after another year.

Laurence Fishburne: Think Gina could convince him? Pleeeeeeese???

Jack Conley (alias,buffy) for another hat-trick but also cos he is a talented guy and would have made a good shadowy character, maybe someone from back in the war, or someone against Mal.

Other ones for me, a few western idols, to fit in with the styling of the show, from the spaghetti westerns, maybe a lunger and his friend, a lawman from the east....hold on, thats Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday!!!!

Robert Carlyle (Gaz in The Full Monty, Begby in Trainspotting, Col. Ives in Ravenous) is absolutely amazing in everything he does, especially villany. Also, Henry Rollins. Hmm, I think that needs emphasis: !!Henry Rollins!! That's better.

Brad Dourif, cause he's soooooooo creepy.
You could use him in so many ways in the FF universe, and he's a righteous character actor.

I also second Bruce Campell, the perfect guy to play a fellow smuggler who's been out in the black a little TOO long and is thus, loonier than Jubal Early.

Oh yeah.. and Dennis Leary, cause after watching him do Edgar Friendly in Demolition Man, this is DEFINATELY yer go-to guy for head of the anti-alliance faction that got river rescued.
