On Dec. 9, just a few days before his "Miss Match" debut, Fillion appears in his first DVD boxed set, as 20th Century Fox Home Video releases the entire brief run of "Firefly."

"It feels good," says Fillion, who played spaceship captain Malcolm Reynolds. "I like that it's still alive."

His "Firefly" co-star, Gina Torres, appeared last season on "Angel," and there are some actors, including current "Angel" recurring cast member Jonathan Woodward, who have done all three Whedon shows (Woodward's "Firefly," called "The Message," never aired but is on the DVD).

At present, Fillion is two for three, and angling for an "Angel" appearance.

"Give me time," he says. "I'm wearing Joss Whedon down with my casual, very subtle hints, like, 'Boy, wouldn't it be neat to have Caleb on "Angel?" Or Malcolm on "Angel"? What the hell?'"

Fillion did keep a few "Firefly" souvenirs, including the rubber stunt replica of his futuristic gun. "The real gun cost, I think, $9,000," he says. "They didn't want me to keep that."

While the proposed "Firefly" feature film remains in the script stages, Fillion is optimistic. "I feel I've still got unfinished business with this show. I don't feel like I had my fill."
