I think at this point I would suppose the Guest Stars of Firefly with the most prolific careers would be Christina Hendricks (Firefly being an early credit for her), and Gregg Henry (already a veteran), and Crow. Who else are you aware of? I like the work of Gary Werntz (The Patron, Safe), Dwier Brown (Mom and Dad Save The World), Dash Riprock (from Beverly Hillbillies).
Which careers have you followed, or work have you enjoyed, before or after Firefly? Who do you think is the most prolific?

Larry Pennell ? Which character did he play ? Was he the old guy who swept in and saved Kaylee from those mean girls in Shindig ?

Absolutely. Something like "it will take far less time for the boys to get her out of her dress" IIRC. He may have been credited as "older gentleman" or something. He also later was regaled by her tales of engine repair.

A lot of that is guest starring. Gregg Henry does quite a bit of film work. And I suspect Christina has a greater recognition as a household name.

And that's exactly what you were asking about.
From your first post:
"I think at this point I would suppose the Guest Stars with the most prolific careers would be...
So why does me posting Mark Sheppard's guest starring credits not count?

Excellent point. My OP had not as much clarity as I thought. I do not think they do not count. Thank you for your contribution.

So what was it you were trying to say? None of the people you mentioned have been the lead in anything, they are primarily guest character actors. Even Christina is only the fourth or fifth credited actor on Mad Men.
Can you name any guest actor from Firefly who has been more prolific than Mark?
wo men ren ran zai fei xing.

First person who came to mind, wow! Sorry to hear of his passing, though. Isn't he at least the 2nd actor to have played on Firefly who has since passed ? Or am I thinking of another show.

It's probably not even close. Mark's been in damn near everything. Even Dr Who.
Christina, on the other hand, I bet is a close second , when it comes to recognizably.
