i vote that none other then arnold schwarzenegger replace wash on the crew as the wise cracking pilot.

if not then he can play a new holy man of some sort with a mysterious past. jayne and him could even work out, like he and book did in the past. "one day your going to have to explain to me what a holy man need all them muscles for"

:)

any other ridiculous casting ideas?

Tom Cruise comes in as Mal's long-lost brother or half-brother...borrowing money and putting the moves on Kaylee, then Inara, then River, then Zoe...hell, maybe Simon? He pisses everyone off until they suffer a core breach, upon which he seals himself in the engine room, exposes himself to massive radiation, and then performs a mind-meld with Simon at the last minute.

I'm all for Walken playing most characters, but can't we have Steve Buscemi (or the guy who played Benny in The Mummy) as some sort of boot-licking, smarmy minion?

Now that Star Wars is done how about some out of the box casting suggestions.

I'd like to see Yoda cast in the role of the head of Inara Companion House pursuing her for leaving them. He could sport gold chains and drive a big Caddy spaceship and say something like "pay me my money, Bitch you will."

Yoda is typecast, I'd like to see him playing the heavy.

This is eggxakly the silliness!
I'm trying to think of a 'pump U up' 'girly-man' tagline for Arnie that would be around forever after. Help.

Static has brought the Jack Nicholson version of TC, and he will certainly find a new girlfriend in the cast, so we need a not too likeable, disposable F castmember fallguy. Since we're adding Republican politicians, is Condaliza busy? I'm having a hard time with this because I don't want to sacrifice any actor I really like on the altar of TC. Hmmmm.

James Marsters. I'm still voting for James Marsters. It would be so weird to have Spike there. Filling the preacher/Giles/Loren stabilizing role. He would need some kind of special power as they all had. How 'bout a character who knew people who garden on all the outer planets? They could go for strawberries, and get in trouble, cause he'd have to be kind of a naughty gardener.

For the pilot, I like River very much. Also, I can't get the pixels to match when I try to cut and paste an outside actor into that role. It works much better in my head to slide River there and create a new character with some new craziness to take her place. Nobody too big, I don't want to go all Hollywood here, cuz that distorts the picture for me. The guy from "Dead Like Me" who played the Brit Reaper. Now, this I like.

We could also add some occasionally appearing helpful characters like Mr Uni and Clem (as long as we're messin' with the power of Joss here).

Mr. T as the next Sheppard.

I like the Christopher Walken idea! That's hilarious!! How about good ol' Chris as the voice of the new NAVCOM computer?

I always liked it that the name of the evil complicit computer in Alien was "Mother".

And when the good doctor in 2010 told the story of why HAL9000 spaced 'em all in 2001, I cried, oooh.

William Shatner as Mal's older, fatter, balder brother.

Conan O'Brien as Book's long lost brother who's also a Shepherd with even crazier hair.

Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the new hands of blue guys.

Gary Coleman as the new crime boss Mal works for.

Michael Jackson as the new villain, the evil headmaster of the Academy, giving Jesus juice to the students and having them sleep in his bed.

Can we please please please just cast David Hasselhoff as a new crewman

He could be a trainee mechanic with Kaylee, and when the chips are down he whips out a few choruses of "Looking For Freedom" for inspiration.

Combine the song with THAT leather jacket and you know you're on to a winner.

Maybe thats the angle Fox wanted to take Firefly in the first place.......

Actually...

We DO know that Joss likes to work with the same pool of actors. I would love to see Amy in "Serenity II" or "Serenity: The Series" (Fox wants exclusive TV rights to "Firefly"? Let them have it. OUR show is called "Serenity"!)

I bet if we managed to wrangle a new series (I'm not looking at a sequel right now...I want TV again.) that all of the old Whedon actors would JUMP at a chance to play a role...I'm thinking one-shot roles, like Carlos Jacott did with "Dobson" (Whedon 'hat trick').

David Borneaz: Another Operative, or Federal Marshall like Womack from "The Message"

Allyson Hannigan: A spirited town leader-type who appeals to Mal when their town is being harrassed by bad guys.

Sarah Michelle Gellar: A pro-independence 'can't stop the signal' fanatic-activist who constantly commits minor acts of terrorism against the Alliance...who Mal finds himself having to bring in because he realizes that NOONE, Purple or Brown should advocate the killing of innocents for a cause.

Keep the Shiny side up

Anne Heche as the new pilot. Well, Zoe's single now, and...

Besides, it's standard Joss that you gotta have Sapphic overtones.

Okay, it isn't really sequel casting, but I need you guys to cast an actress to play Wash's older sister. (Heck, it could work for a sequel too.) My posted fic, *Blue Sun Rising*, includes her and she needs a gorram face. She's a few years older than Wash, and doesn't look so much like him that you would know they were siblings right away if you met them separately and years apart (this is important to the story). They would, however, have similar speech patterns and senses of humor. She cultured but practical, strong and highly educated. I always got the impression Wash had a good education ("Can I use companion as a verb?") and was probably raised with strong female role models.

How about:
Michelle Trachtenberg's as Wash's kid sister who runs away from home to find out what really happened Wash.

OR

Seth Green as Kaylee's big brother. Who shows up and River falls in love with him because she can't read his mind.
