Did you see. . .? Secret Cameo's: Heroes - Firefly - Stargate

[ScottSF]

Have you ever been watching a sci-fi and recognize someone underneath the alien makeup. Or the other way around? Like seeing a Ferengi in Sister Act or Buffy but without the Giant heads? Or maybe someone new arives on the hollywood seen and you remember them from a sci-fi show. I spoted these recently.

Kaylee from Firefly was a Wraith in an episode of StarGate Atlantis.

I heard that Ando from Heroes played a Bartender in an Episode of Firefly. Gonna have to check that one.

I'm pretty sure that Harriet from Sudio 60 on the Sunset Strip was the holographic woman who got mauled by reavers in Serenity.

Dr. Julian from Deep Space 9 fought with Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven. Took me a while to recognize him with all the scruffy and layers of desert clothes.

Kaylee was also in Wonderfalls(the love interests cheating wife) and Dead Like Me (record store clerk - dark hair).

The little weasley guy in The Mummy was in Peggy Sue Got Married (dreamy eyes guy).

Malcom Reynolds was in Blast from the Past.

In the first session of the Battlestar Galactica reimagined miniseries, you can see Serenity flying over Capricia. I think.

There's that actor in DS9 who is both Brunt and Weyoun, he's quite similar as both somehow.

A very young Tom Paris was in He-Man.

I really want to track that down now. I was wondering if some of the same people worked on the CGI for BSG and Firefly because of the shakey Camera technique establish in firefly is used in BSG to great effect.

Nathan Fillion (Mal Reynolds) played the wrong Private James Ryan in Saving Private Ryan, and Alan Tudyk (Wash) played the main robot in I, Robot, not to mention a few other roles. And the weaselly guy from The Mummy has been in tons of stuff, but I particularly liked him in the short-lived Gideon's Crossing.

He was also the star of "Reaninmator" the movie, several years ago. Strange, but interesting actor.

if you go to imdb.com there's a filmography of each actor

I think that's just the latest new fad of CGI (and a good one too; the techniques seem to be rather stagnant). One starts doing it, to great success, and the others follow. Star Wars Episode II had it too, to a certain degree, but not remotely as coherent (you only saw it in a couple of flying scenes, the rest were of the traditional "stable camera" setup).

Serenity in BSG was very early, I think. It was some sort of introductory Capricia scene, either for Roslyn or Baltar. A ship passed, and I thought, "hey, wasn't that Serenity?". It might have been just a ship of similar design, but I instantly spotted Millennium Falcon in that short scene in SW Ep III too, so I trust my eyesight

Jayne from Firefly was also in Independence Day, as was Data from Star Trek. Wash might of been in Knight's Tale, I think I remember him being in that one.

[Thadlerian]

Yep, there it was!
Thanks, Joel007

Yes, that was Jeff Combs ... a quite talented actor who shows up in the oddest places....

Jeffrey Combs

wee thanks Joel. The sight of that ship makes me uncharactaristically warm and fuzzy. Maybe Serenity can be the new Wilhelm.

Oh and the Wilhelm now there's a sound that gets around. FTWDN (for those who don't know) The Wilhelm is a scream sound effect that is in Every StarWars movie, Indiana Jones, LOTR. . . etc. I heard it in the Burton Planet of the Apes and me and one other guy in the theater laughed. Sometimes it's almost annoying when it pulles me out of a scene when it's too prominent.
