hmmm....actors/actresses I'd like to see in Firefly:

Morgan Weisser as an ex-Browncoat. He has such great eyes to play an angsty, wronged and depressed man.

Kristen Cloke as just some civilian the crew runs into or maybe another ex-Browncoat cuz she acted some pretty kick-ass soldier parts before.

James Morrison as Alliance or maybe one of those Blue Hand guys. He just seems like he'd be good for that type of character.

David Wenham and Sean Bean....playing their parts from LOTR.....LOL jk. But seriously, I'd love to see both of them in Firefly.

I think there should be more Asians highlighted as secondary characters. Especially since the mythology of the series is based on the U.S. and China alliance in the future.

I think Maggie Cheung would be great as a regal governor or organized crime despot.

Ken Watanabe as a merc for hire.

Gordon Lui as a martial arts sensei that teaches Zoe the Way of the Warrior. He can even dress up in his White Lotus character outfit like in all the Shaw brothers movies!

Picking actors who are talented, but not well-known. I haven't given this too much thought, but here goes...

Ming-Na who plays Deb Chen on ER as an alliance baddy

Dule Hill, Charlie from West Wing as Book's long-separated son (to help bring us the answers to Book's past)

And Andy Richtor (who controls the 'verse) as some dumb criminal

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Actually there really weren't that many asians shown in the series. I only remember some extras in the crowd in the pilot Serenity and then I think on actress in Heart of Gold, but I'm not sure and have to check. I love Firefly and have watched from the beginning; however, there definitely should be more asians casted merely because of the universe and culture that Joss has posited within the series. Everyone swears in Mandarin, eats with chopsticks, wears silk kimono inspired clothing but not one asian was casted as a secondary or guest actor?? This absence is troubling in that it seems there is a subconscious marginalization in the series. What do you guys think?
