In a strange way DB already has almost been on Firefly...

In the train job, his stunt / body double appeared as one of Niska's thugs.

Didn't know that until the commentary on my DVDs...

A low key role, but with substance... I am liking it

" Thats not fair !!!!
I didn't even have a soul when I did that!"

Well, I'm with those who don't want him in a big role, but I did like the idea of him as a Shepherd. Or -- hey, are there male Companions?

But if I had my choice of main character Buffy/Angel alum to be in the movie, I'd hafta go with Anthony Stewart Head or Alexis Denisof. Either or both would make excellent Alliance stooges or blue hands.

"So...would his job be available?"

Here's some healthy speculation: We know that Joss saved Season 5 of Angel by promising to bring James over from the cancelled Buffy. Maybe he's getting to do Serenity on the promise to bring David over from the cancelled Angel.

Oh, and maybe Reavers will turn out to be just Vampires.

"I can make people that are scarier than anything you can put in latex." - Joss Whedon

Hee hee, wise words O'maker of Reavers. DB could pull off a Reaver, but Channain is right about showing TOO much of a boogy-man. Look what Trek did with the Borg - juat about ruined 'em totally.

But, I would suppose DB would either be an Alliance villan or the "old Pal" of Mal.

Alliance? Reaver? Shepherd? No way. He's a companion.

While Shiny might have been joking and all, it brings up an interesting point. Though I somehow doubt we'd see David Boreanaz in the role, it stands to reason that there might be male Registered Companions in the 'verse. I don't think it was ever stated that it was a strictly female profession, and it seems like a very Joss thing to have a man suddenly show up as a colleague of Inara. See how the other characters react to his profession. Food for thought.


You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like it's raining.

I don't think that Firefly fans are Nerds. In fact I think most Nerds don't like Firefly because it focuses more on characters and less on Aliens & Spaceships. They don’t no how to deal with Sci-fi that deviates from the Star Trek/Star Wars formula.

dont forget that the st/sw formula is NOT what they are doing today. sw has become nothing but an effect orgy without soul and st degraded into a parody of itself thanks to the writers.

so i think firefly is EXACTLY in line with the (original) st/sw formula and has everything that they are completely lacking today.

and on topic:
when i read that my first thought was d.b. with vampire makeup + reaver makeup just for the fun of it. but such a .5 second cameo might be a little less than joss has in mind so.. ill find out 2005 i guess.
