OMG, I was totally sure I knew him from somewhere, but I was couldn't remember from where. I kept thinking he was from Stargate somwhere. Thanks for that. I just realized.

I just saw Alan Baldwin on a show called "Day Break". A "Groundhog Day" plot, but with police and murder. These sows are getting popular. "Lost" and "Medium" and now this one. I had a hard time following it because I didn't see the first few minutes and then it started to fall together. I expect Alan will be a regular.If there is not another Firefly, I'm just posing an option, then at least the cast got recognition and are finding opportunities.

You get to play some interesting people. So you get noticed. I'm sure the fine work he did on Firefly helped.

He was actually back on Medium last week and in the opening scene a.k.a. Allison's dreams/visions he was with Michael Fairman (Niska). It was weird, creepy, and cool to see them together and in the same scene. I wonder if they talked about Firefly?

Hello Whimsicalnbrainpan:
Medium is one of favorite shows. It was good see both Badger and Niska together. It seemed so strange. Like I was watching a flashback or something.

Mine too. Is it me or do you think that Bridget is the best character on that show? I love that kid!
It was weird to see the two of them in the same room together. I kept expecting them to talk about Mal.

I am glad you know about "Medium" Whimsicalnbrainpan.
I am always amazed by child actors. I could never act a when I was a child.
I am sitting here trying to remember a French movie where the main character is a four year old girl. She is in every scene and does an excellent performance. I am really angery with myself for forgetting the name of this movie. It is actually the name of the child. If I can come up with the title I will pass it on. It is a must see. I will start googling.

Hello Whimsicalnbrainpan:
I found that French movie. It is called "Ponette".
This is a masterpiece. Well I think so. This four year old girl does a fantastic performance.
It is an excellent story.

Oddly, I've always thought Buddy Ebsen, rather than Clark Gable, as well - maybe it's a generation thing.
Looking at his filmography, yeah it's a little sad that he never "made it big", but looking at the shows he's been in, he must have stories aplenty - he's been the "forgettable extra" in any number of high-ranked productions.
As per PurpleBelly, quite the opposite, I always viewed him as an all-but-asexual character with the "purest" of motives...being a mean old man who makes the useless people in society feel awkward, and delights in mocking them. He's more of a "fun uncle" type, than a Gable-esque lecherous hump.
