Notes & Trivia[]

  • Four of the cast members from Firefly also provided voice work for characters on the on the Warner Bros. animated television series Justice League Unlimited. Gina Torres provided the voice for the character of Vixen while Adam Baldwin voiced Hal Jordan, the Silver Age Green Lantern. Nathan Fillion voiced the Vigilante, and Morena Baccarin voiced Black Canary.
  • Actor Nathan Fillion previously played a villain named Caleb in season seven of Joss Whedon's previous series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He later went on to play the title role of mystery writer Richard Castle in the television series Castle. In the season two episode of Castle entitled "Vampire Weekend", Fillion's character dresses up for Halloween wearing a costume very similar to what he wore on Firefly. The character's daughter, Molly, asks him what he is supposed to be dressed as, to which he replies, "Space cowboy". She responds with, "There are no cows in space, and didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?". The episode aired approximately five years after the release of Firefly. [1] In the season three episode, "Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind", Fillion's character is shown speaking Mandarin. When Stana Katic's character asks him where he learned it, he tells her "I learned it from an old show I used to love". This is another wink towards Firefly where Mandarin Chinese was a common dialect featured throughout the 'Verse.
