Is it just me or do the rest of you try to envisage a particular Actor/Actress playing your Original Characters in the Firefly verse?

I see a few when I write.

Allan Bryant, I see Jeff Daniels. He's the right age and plays the guitar. Is see him much like his role in Gettysburg as Joshua Chamberlain.

Alisha (Zoe's baby sister) I see Dana Davis.

Reggie, Closest is Eric Stoltz (Red hair)but he's too old. Need someone in their late 20's

Oso is hard to place. Maybe Dwayne Johnson, but he's not quite tall enough and is too old.

Sheriff Buford, Sam Elliot

Frederica Cobb, Mira Sorvino

Mattie Cobb, Not sure yet.

Veronica Cobb, Anne Archer.

Anyone else have any ideas? Or maybe who they would cast as their own O/C's?

Let me see. My only OC is Mal's Ma. I can see her but I really haven't cast an actress for "Shadow, the Early Years".

She's in her mid to late 40's., dark blond with blue eyes of course, athletic build, rides and ropes with the best of the hands, yet can cook a mouth watering apple pie.

Suggestions are welcome.

Nice! I was wondering if there was a thread about this somewhere. We did a similar OC Casting Call on the Star Wars forums a few years back. Lord knows it's every Browncoat's pipe dream to see their fanfic hit the big screen.

My OCs? I would hand-pick David Marciano (of 'The Shield' and 'Due South', amongst other lawman roles) to be Ray Corsetto. Haven't thought much about young Robert Berakis, but I guess Chris Pine is really the only pro actor I could see in the role. Josiah Carabella from 'Guns' would probably be best off by a lesser-known fellow named Jim Bracchitta - mostly because he played David Marciano's arch-enemy in a couple of episodes of 'Due South'. For the next few stories? Dunno. Have to see how many OCs come into play, but oh, there will be an update.

ETA: NCBrowncoat, what about Candice Bergen? Or is she a little too far over the hill?

Yep, a little long in the tooth. Or maybe a young Blythe Danner, but not her daughter Gwenyth Paltrow. Blythe Danner as she was in The Great Santini (1979). Beautiful but held the family together and was tough as nails in her own way.

Good Choice!!!!

I had an idea for Reggie in my Fanfics. Jake Gyllenhaal with a red dye job.

Still need a better choice for Oso. There any Pro Wrestlers with a Hawaiian or Polynesian background? Need someone who would make Adam Baldwin look small.

Dalip Singh? The giant man from Get Smart and The Longest Yard. He makes everyone look small.
