The Man They Call Jayne: An Interview with Adam Baldwin
By AeloraLane
 During my recent interview with members of the cast of Serenity (released on DVD December 20th), I was listening to Nathan Fillion’s dream cast for a Mel Brook’s spoof, when he turned and asked fellow co-star, Adam Baldwin, “Who would play Jayne in a Mel Brooks’ version of a spoof of Firefly?”
“Danny Glover,” Adam responds to Nathan’s question with barely a moment’s hesitation. I can’t help but wonder if this is something he’s considered before. “It’s really funny if you think about it.”
“No, he’s my backup for Sheppard,” Nathan refutes. “I said Tony Shalhoub.”
“Tony Shalhoub.” Adam seems to ponder the choice.
“And Sam Rockwell would play me,” Nathan continues. “And for Wash…oh, who was that kid…“
Adam offers, “Doogie Howser?”
“No, not Neil Patrick Harris. He was the kid on that show…" Nathan thinks about it for a moment, and I wonder if he’ll start recasting the extras soon as well. “Life Goes On. Corky. Chris Burke. He would play Wash. He’s a wonderful actor.”
I think the play-by-play of the spoof may finally be over when Nathan continues, “And Mel Brooks would have to play Joss.” He reconsiders, and then adds, “Or Niska.”
“Mel Brooks as Niska,” Adam repeats with a grin. “That would be funny.”
Standing at over 6'4", Adam Baldwin could easily come across as intimidating. Instead, he is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth actors I've had the pleasure of chatting with. Trust me when I say it's not easy to interview a man whose work you've admired since the beginning of his career over 25 years ago. In fact, it's downright unsettling. Next to Nathan's boisterousness, Adam possesses a quiet, calming presence that is certainly capable of soothing the most frazzled of journalists.

But one tiny excerpt again:
“God, I just really wanted it to be a hit for Joss,” he continues. “He really deserves it. He put in way more work into it than any of us.”
Adam’s admiration of creator Joss Whedon is apparent in his tone as he adds, “Joss is my hero. I’ve said this over and over again. He’s my hero for having been able to resurrect a damn cancelled TV show.”
