Hey! Just curious if anyone else is having a curious recent spat of Firefly related sightings.

On Friends, I saw Ron Glass as Ross's divorce lawyer and it was pretty funny.

Also on Without a Trace, the actor that plays Badger was on recently (as a bad guy

).

Caught the actor who plays Atherton on an episode of Charmed, too. Also

.

Just curious as to if anyone else has some Firefly/Serenity related sightings?

SINSIX

Saw Ron Glass in a episode of Yes Dear on CBS as a doctor when one of the actors was thinking of getting a vasectomy.

And after I found out about FireFly/Serenity, and fell in love with the characters/actors, my wife told me to rewatch A Knights Tale since Wash is in it. It was like a brand new movie to me since I knew who he was now.

Yeah! Saw Ron in that episode of Friends.

Saw Summer on The 4400 a few days ago! Amazing how much that character reminded me or River. Maybe 'cause they were both crazy!

Summer Glau (River) was recently starring in a made-for-Sci-fi channel 'horror' show called MamMoth
Badger was also on an epidose of Medium

of course the other Whedonesque actors (from Buffy & Angel) keep appearing all over the TV screens

(Alexis/Wesley has been on Alyson/Willow's sit-com How I Met Your Mother)

And Joss Whedon hisownself has been on Veronica Mars

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Isn't Gina Torres doing something on Alias? I don't watch the show (missed the beginning so it barely makes sense to me) but I'm pretty sure she's been on it.

LEIGHKOHL

Saw Sean Maher on Ghost Whisperer,(he was the ONLY reason I watched the show) and then Jewel Staite has been on two of my favorite shows, (excluding Firefly), Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls. All three, Firefly, Wonderfalls(both on Fox), and Dead Like Me (Showtime)have been cancelled and my best friend calls me the Show Killer because I loved all three. Carlos Jacott is on Big Love on HBO, he is hilaroious as the nosy neighbor. It's funny when I watch a show now and one of the guest stars or main cast is on, I'm all-Hey they were on Firefly! I am so glad my family and friends are so indulgent, cause I am sure they are sick of hearing it.

Jewel: SG-Atlantis, Dead Like Me
Summer: Angel, Cold Case, The 4400, CSI
Ron: Friends
Mark Sheppard: 24

On Bones last week, the wife of the guy in the VA hospital was the nurse-lady on in the FF ep "Safe" who called river a witch. I'm watching Booth (Angel) talk to her and thinking, why don't I like this woman?? It was her voice I recognized and I had to close my eyes to figure out who she was because she wasn't wearing her bonnet.

I was rewatching "Grosse Point Blank" the other day (one of my favorite movies of all time) and Carlos Jacott, aka Dobson, played the fellow who gave John Cusack the pen that he took the assasin out with (he stabbed the guy in the neck with it).

I too yelled out "Hey! It's Dobson!", but alas there were no FFFans on site, so it was politely ignored.

Adam Baldwin did a TV movie version of the Poseidon Adventure a while ago.

I was a bit surprised to see Ron Glass when I watched Houseguest. Ron Glass played the Dentist that Sinbad was trying to impersonate.

The one that I had to think about though was on Lois and Clark (my wife is obsessed with that show). In the episode with the VR stuff, the programmer had an alter-ego named X. The actor was the same one who played Niska's henchman (I think his name was Crawl) that got kicked into the engine.

I pretty sure that I saw Jubal Early in a Vietnam series from the late 80's called Tour of Duty. It was the 2nd season so I don't know if he was a regular or just a guest star. I kept sayin' "I know that voice", then it hit me. He was just a young 'un.

I'm surprised I didn't see these in here, maybe I just missed them.

Gina Torres was in the "Cleopatra 2525" series, and was just in "Standoff" with the guy from the "Office Space" comedy movie from a few years ago.

Adam Baldwin played Major Mitchell in "Independence Day" and was also in "Full Metal Jacket".

Nathan Fillion was "Private Ryan" in "Saving Private Ryan", he was just not the one they were looking for.

I noticed the actor that played Womak in The Message and the actor that questions the entire crew (in the scene where Wash says he likes where Zoe's legs meet her back, for lack of a better reference, from Bushwacked I think) although I forget his character's name, in Desparate Housewives. Which is sadly my mom's favorite show. I saw Nathan in Slither (obviously) and Adam in Ordinary People, but the rest of the cast I haven't seen in much.

When I was younger, my favorite show was called "Flash Forward" on the Disney channel, and Jewel had one of the leads in it, along with Ben Foster from "X-Men the Last Stand." That was a great show. And the guy that played Dobson was on a particularly hilarious episode of "Seinfeld" in which he played the pool guy that wouldn't leave Jerry alone.
