I tend to go with the character over the actor, and I find that if I really like a character, then I don't actually want to know about the actor as a person. I would rather immerse in the alt-reality.

To this extent, I haven't watched a lot of the outtakes or gag reels, though I've watched the episodes with commentary.

That said, Adam Baldwin's charm makes Jayne someone you might be prepared to put up with (or bunk up with ) I'm just wrong that way.

You fall in love with the character not the actor. Thats why we all love Firefly so much. After that is when you dig into there personal life. I really like this question.

I agree. It's the character I fell in love with, not the actor. Some actors can ruin characters for me. This hasn't happened with the Firefly actors, but let's just say I avoid James Marsters and Anthony Stewart Head interviews like the plague. Watching interviews with them ruins Spike and Giles.

When it comes right down to it, I'd rather have Mal than Nathan...if only because I "know" Mal. I know nothing of Nathan, except what I've seen in interviews. I like what I've seen, but I'm not naive enough to think I can suss out who he really is from a couple of clips.
