Other actors on Firefly.

My favs are the following:

Christina Hendricks (YoSafBridge) She was deliciously wicked in both OMR & Trash. You could never tell if she was putting on an act for Mal or if she was truly "vulnerable" and she kinda looks OK.

Richard Brooks (Jubal) That performance, in OIS, was one of the oddest and most complete possession of a character I have seen in quite a long time. He should have gotten an Emmy for his performance. Of course Fox screwed that up for him.

Greg Henry (The Sheriff) in Train Job. He's a great character actor and is really good at playing evil, but his stint on FF was down-to-earth and understated - loved it. My other fav role was the bad guy in Payback.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

I saw Adam Baldwin in the final episode of S4 CSI NY yesterday. He was only in it for 2 minutes and looked realy weird without Jayne's goatie. But great to see him in something else.

Larry Drake was the lead bad guy in Darkman.

Henry guest starred in non-villainous role in 1982's (a Time travel TV series called) Voyagers! as Teddy Roosevelt, btw. The series is worth a looksee if you are a fan of 1980s TV


Slightly off topic here but the plot of Voyagers! (borrowed from imdb.com) is as follows:

Phineas Bogg is a member of a group people called Voyagers. They help history along. Give it a push where it's needed. He is a regular human that was living as a pirate a few hundred years ago, when he was chosen to be a voyager. He travels by way of a gold pocket watch like device called an omni. When the light is flashing red, it means history is wrong. His job is to fix it. In the pilot episode, Bogg ends up in 1982 when his omni malfunctions. (He is only supposed to be able to go as far as 1970.) He ends up in the apartment where 12 year old Jeffery Jones and his aunt and uncle live. (Jones parents were recently killed in an accident.) While there, Jeffery's dog grabs hold of Bogg's guide book (basically a history book.) Bogg being a pretty inept history person has no clue what to do without his book. One thing leads to another and Jeffery falls out of the building's window. The only way to save him is for Bogg to jump out after him and travel through time. Now Bogg is stuck in time with a 12 year old kid (Jeffery), no guide book, and no way of getting Jeffery back. But he does have an ace in the hole. Jeffery's dad was a history professor and Jeffery picked up much of his knowledge. So now the two of them, travel through time, giving history a push along where it is needed.

the guest star list for Voyagers! is of interest btw:


Faye Grant who was in The Greatest American Hero was in an ep

Shanneen Dohrety (sp) was in an ep

Mako was in ep

Two actors who had characters who went up against The A-Team: William Lucking and Lance LeGault were in eps

The late David Graf, who played Tackleberry in the Police Academy movies was in an episode (in fact the same episode as Dana Elcar)

Johnathan Frakes was in ep playing Charles Lindburgh

Mills Watson (playing Friar Tuck in a Robin Hood themed episode) was in an ep

Watson is best known as the Deputy who along with Sheriff Lobo chased BJ in the TV series BJ and the Bear (and was in the spin off 'Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo' )


Judson Earney Scott [aka Judson Scott] had a role as Lawrence of Arabia in Voyagers!,
was in Several Star Trek spinoff series roles, The X-Files, and a role in the TV series V .. etcetera

Why would events in history need help? They already happenned, that's why it's called history. If anything, their intrusions into the past were likely to alter history, but the show wasn't that stupid.

I have to say I can no longer watch old law and order re-runs as I can't deal with Jubal Ealry as a lawyer.. in one episode he actually said " does that seem right to you" I flipped....

Sir Warrick Harrow, aka Larry Drake, from Shindig was also in the SG-1 episode "Beast of Burden" (season 5), he was the head 'Unas Trader/hunter/mugger', sidenote: I can't help but think of Sam Kinisen (sp?) when he yells for all the unas to "Shut up!" in that episode.
Adam Baldwin landed the role of SG-11's commanding officer on season 7 eps. "Heroes Pt 1 & 2", talking about his kids 'nuclear diapers and projectile vomit' :P Everytime I see it now, I say "Jayne!" He looks pretty cunning with an SG patch on his shoulder :D
