I'm getting a little confused, What is Wash's name becuase I was looking at a site on Serenity and it posted the actors names with their charater names and it read Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren. I'm just wondering is Wash's name Jerry Lee Warren?

There is no canon or press/media evidence that it is Jerry Lee Warren. The closest anyone has ever come to justifying this is in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when Mal says "Good work {garbled} lee." It very well could be "Good work Kaylee" just flubbed, but people have said that it is Jerry Lee, and that in that he somehow refers to Wash, despite the fact that the camera cuts directly to Kaylee who says, "Weren't quick enough to help."

Recent posts by someone who may in fact be Alan Tudyk indicate that this is not the case. He says that it is Hoban Washburne. This is corroborated to a degree by Nathan Fillion, who once posted on the OB that one of Wash's "real names" was Washburn, or a variant thereof.

Hello
I did a search on the web site that has the scripts for Firefly you are right Sarahect the reference to Wash's name occurs in that episode thanks that shortened my search. The quote is as follows:

"WASH
It's not pretty, but we can steer
enough to turn the hell around.
MAL
Nice work, Jerry Lee."

I hope that helps a little

But did that script come from an official source, or was it some well-meaning fan's transcript?

Cool. I added it to my favorites list. But I couldn't find out how they were compiled. If it were simply from someone listening to the show, taking shorthand or something, they could make mistakes in writing down the words spoken by the actors.

They're mirrors of the fan transcripts from Whoa, Good Myth: http://firefly.shriftweb.org/index.shtml .

The shooting script and the DVD captions say "Nice work, Kaylee" and KAYLEE responds, not Wash.

there is a post that seems to be from Alan and HE says

Hoban Washburne is full name of his character

Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I'm sure this has already been addressed, but that quote is wrong. In both the Final Writer's Draft and the Shooting Script, Mal says "Nice work, Kaylee." Never trust a transcript.

I agree, you walk a dangerous line whenever you take ANY transcript aside from an official one handed down from Mount Sinai by JW as canon.
