A lot of that is guest starring.

And that's exactly what you were asking about.

From your first post:
"I think at this point I would suppose the Guest Stars with the most prolific careers would be...

So why does me posting Mark Sheppard's guest starring credits not count?

Absolutely. Something like "it will take far less time for the boys to get her out of her dress" IIRC. He may have been credited as "older gentleman" or something. He also later was regaled by her tales of engine repair.

Can you name any guest actor from Firefly who has been more prolific than Mark?

First person who came to mind, wow! Sorry to hear of his passing, though. Isn't he at least the 2nd actor to have played on Firefly who has since passed ? Or am I thinking of another show.

Mr Pennell, (Murphy), even had his own card in the Firefly Board Game (Blue Sun Expansion). I didn't know he passed. Very sorry. He was only on a few moments but he stole the episode.

That's what I really love about Joss and his ability to find the right actor for the right part.

Well written, just long enough, and w/ the right actor playing the part...

Joss seems to excel at those moments.

Who's Banner?

Banning Miller was played by Kim Onasch.
