He was the demon that killed the brother's mother in Supernatural. I haven't watched it for some time but I remember one episode where they had a gun that could kill it, but the oldest brother got sick and the dad offered the gun and his life if he helped bring his son back. He pretended to be a janitor till their father sussed him out.


And the guy who played Dobson played a guy named Ramone on Seinfeld.


Did anyone know that the actor who played Niska was a Scientologist? Sad times.

Nandi (Melinda Clarke) also played Lady Heather in 4 CSI episodes. Lady Heather is a dominatrix who runs a fetish house of pain. Hmm, another head-of-household role... Interesting how she's been cast as a sex worker at least twice.

This was one of my favorites too. As far as I was concerned, perfect casting choice for Lady Heather. That character has since become a sex therapist, but there is still an edginess to her.

Zoe (Gina Torres) has been on CSI as well, as a warden at a women's prison, now her real life husband is the new chief for the unit since Grissom left.

Gary Werntz (The Patron, Safe) was once "Trenchcoat" on John Doe, Dominic Purcell's first series in the U.S., long before he was Lincoln Burrows on Prisonbreak.

One of my other favorites? Adam Baldwin as Agent John Casey on Chuck. Oh my goodness. Entirely too much fun. Any coincidence that his initials are still "JC"? I think not. His name is different, but I swear, he is definitely still channeling Jayne Cobb.

This is the kind of thread that IMDb was built for. Seriously.

I actually try not to ASSUME anything. Aside from the fact that I just flat out hate how the word sounds phonetically, An assumption is only valid when there is factual information presented to back it up. And I LIKE looking up stuff.

For instance, I honestly wasn't sure what "alliterate" meant. Crazy, right? So I looked it up. "The repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables (as wild and woolly, threatening throngs)—called also head rhyme initial rhyme." There could be a whole thread dedicated to that - alliterations of MR, IS, ZW... WW

And I did write a whole peck of stuff about alliteration, my opinion on "JC" in conjunction with Jayne Cobb, blah blah blah. I even got into my own views on Faith (ooh... scary). Then I realized that Joss Whedon might have been using "JC" as his crass gunhand's initials as a very Whedonesque joke that has already been well written about somewhere else. Don't have time to look that up right now, but it sounds like him, doesn't it?

Just trying to keep it Firefly, and shall endeavor to do so.

I should admit that normally alliteration refers to first letters of the same name, such as Peter Parker, Lex Luthor, Sam Spade, Bruce Banner, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan - and the less often used application of a set of intitials from one character to another, as in the most notorious case of JC.

And just like that, not a (gorram) ASSumption anymore. Thank you. I appreciate that.

And may I point out; Wash Washburn - Woodrow Wilson. Yes, I know technically since "Wash" sin't really Wash's first name, it's reaching. It's not even a very good comparison. But again, just trying to keep it Firefly.

From Safe, the Patron was played by the actor who was also the Jag owner in Pay It Forward, another film I really liked.

Who were your favorite other castings?

From Shindig, Murphy the older gentleman who saved KayLee from the rudeness of Banning. He was Dash Riprock. Plus his first movie was alongside Jeffery Hunter, James Best, and Raymond Massey. Among many other roles. (Larry Pennell).
