You should above all check out his appearances on Supernatural as Crowley. He's hilarious.

You've never heard people who have played villians talk about the strange reactions they get from other people? That part I know. The rest I was being a little derisive on but I'm sure a lot of them would rather be ona regular show making bigger bucks and with better recognition than being "um, that guy on that one show that one time?". I would think most people get into acting for those reasons with it being fun a secondary. I am just putting myself in their shoes, having to kow-tow to new directors and getting along with new groups of people all the time- not exactly torture but it can't be easy, either.

How many times a day do I gotta tell y'all stop taking me sooooo seriously? Sardonical is a lost art, I tell ya....

Maybe if I post in the form of a beer commercial?.......

My fave Dwier Brown was as Kathy Ireland's brother and King Eric Idle's idiot son in Mom and Dad Save the World.

Good thread WishIMay

I think a lot of folk here follow our BDH’s and support them as much as possible. As a browncoat, that is also one of the reasons I still have faith that there is life ( or should be, at least a tv mini series) flowing through the tubes and electrical conduit of our favorite Firefly “Serenity”.

As for the “other” less known actors that were a part of that show.

Christina Hendricks has done rather well for herself. Photo covers pop up of her all over the place, and “Mad Men” is a big hit. I also have seen her on a short run tv series on NBC called “Life”, which was cancelled a little while back. I really liked that show. Wish it had been on longer. It also had the actress that played the part of the nurse/house mother in the Firefly episode “Safe” on one episode.

Mark Sheppard, like was mentioned above has been in Warehouse 13 a few times, and Jewel and Sean were in an eps of WH13 also. Mark had played a part in the short run tv remake of “ The Bionic Woman” which was on NBC also.

I find it so exhilarating to see a tv shows like WH13 advertise an episode as “ Firefly’s-Jewel Staite & Sean Maher” or like Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars) introduced Nathan Fillion’s famous “Castile” episode as “ Stay tuned you Firefly fans for a special episode of Castile coming next.”

Even the actors who had only those bit parts on FF are recognized all the time. Methinks there was a lot more to that tv show than the network it aired on gave it credit for. They sure as heck keep hiring Joss back and using him as a whipping post.

Firefly could return with another season on another network and be successful easily. There’s an already build-in fandom for the show.

Just FYI....

Gregg Henry, who played Sheriff Bourne in "The Train Job" was on Medium last night. Not a villian, but apparently has been acting for over 30 years. His bio says he was in Star Trek: Insurrection so I'll have to re-watch that tonight :)

Pretty good lookin' guy, says I. Always have had a soft spot for tall older men, though.

Gregg Henry is a favorite of mine. He manages to steal every scene he is in. He was brilliant in SLITHER.....even topped our Nathan. Great actor.
