What would the worst Firefly cast be?

Here are my thoughts:
Mal - Keanu Reeves
Inara - Winona Ryder
River - Reese Witherspoon
Simon - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Zoe - Queen Latifa
Wash - Kenneth Branagh
Kaylee - Christina Ricci
Book - Al Sharpton
Jayne - Orlando Bloom

One other thought, how good of an operative would Juaquin Phoenix make?

Phoenix WOULD rock in that part, no doubt about it.

Hmm. I'd say casting Nick Cage as Mal would've ruined everything. Al Pacino as Shepherd also.

Ok, I'm a little pre-occupied; you say "phoenix", and I *still* think: "River"! :)

Nice one, Khyron. I do so hate Fran Drescher.

Hafta say, you and ThePistonEngine are righteously quite ILL!

Too bad we all don't have something better to do, like comment on the new series/movie, etc.

Good laugh, guys/gals. Thanks.

Just a couple ideas, no full cast yet:

Inara: Divine
Simon: Don Knotts

I don't disagree on any particular point.

The Worst Firefly Cast would be anyone but the cast we had. They were really amazing. Plus I think Don Knotts is dead, so yeah he would be the worst performance as Simon. I think they would have went a different way in Serenity Kaylee kissing someone all cropsified and gross might destory her mind.

The worst thing is, had any one of the people we've mentioned actually been cast as that character, the movie probably would've done better at the box office.

Holy frickin God you have to be kidding me! I've been laughing so hard at this I almost popped out a contact lens.

I also liked whoever posted Christopher Walken as Wash. Just imagine his delivery coupled with some of that goofy dialogue.

The most bizarre choice I came up with has to be Chris Farley as Mal. I know he's not around anymore but just picture it.

This did start out as a crap / unsuitable / hardly worth the name actor list, but I'm feeling mellow today. I'll settle for a goes-without-saying unuseable cast composed of worthwhile folk.
