I was watching Field of Dreams the other day, and there, in the credits, was the name Dwire Brown. He was playing Kevin' Costner's father as a young man, quite handsome in a long-haired, Bryllcreme sort of way.

And I said, " I know him from Firefly." Dug thru several eps ( I wasn't sure which one, and it was a good excuse anyway.), and sure enough, there is Dwire Brown listed in Trash.

But there was no " as" , or picture. So I watched the whole ep ( good excuse again.), and still couldn't figure out which part he was playing. I thought he was playing Monte- thought maybe he'd aged, put on weight, but still wore the long hair.

But turns out he was playing Durran Haymer- lighter hair, crew cut and all.

I can't get over how much different he looked, but it made me a little more sympathetic to the character.

Haymer may be a genocidal maniac and looter, but he was genuinely trying to help Yo-Saff-Brig, and genuinely grateful to Mal for bringing her back.

You're right!

I never made the connection until now.

Field of Dreams is on my list of top movies, filmed right here in the Mythical Land That is Iowa!

Or he may not. All we have is Yosaf's word on that. She's not known for the general truthfulness of the things she says.

And I doubt Mal or others really cared where the loot came from. They would steal it anyway.

As mentioned in the thread b=4&t=31337 I really liked Dwier playing Kathy Ireland's brother in Mom And Dad Save the World. I found it a hilarious role in a movie with lots of funny parts. The role was also the son of the King (Eric Idle).
