actually, I saw in a newspaper on Friday that it was someone other than Alan who had been signed...I hope the article was wrong, but I didn't find any mention of him anywhere in the article...I'll have to see if I can find it again.

INTO THE WEST (TNT) - Skeet Ulrich ("Miracles"), Alan Tudyk ("Firefly") and Matthew Settle ("Band of Brothers") are each in talks to star in the cable channel's upcoming 12-hour, $50 million mini-series. The group is set to play three spirited brothers from Virginia in the project, which tells the story of the opening of the American West in the 19th century through the eyes of two multigenerational families, one of white settlers and one of Native Americans.

So it's Alan and two others. I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry to rain on the Alan parade, but here's the article I read, and it's from July 27:

So, unless Alan can pull off a native american role , It looks like the talks fell through. Note in the above article you quoted, that he was in "talks" - not signed. Things change in a hurry in Hollywood....would have loved to have seen him in this though!
