"After the rally, as I was walking among arguably the largest throng of creative minds in our modern western literary culture I enjoyed the quiet peace of the unity shown on this day. I eventually skirted out of the crowd and crossed over a street leaving FOX behind me to head back to my car so I could get home to a very pregnant wife at which point I heard a man's voice saying, 'Michael, Michael.' I turned around, and it was Joss Whedon jogging over to me with his hand extended. I was intensely flattered that he came over and introduced himself to me. I have heard from many sources that this man is a class act, and it seems that rumor is true. He has a very approachable quality, and from an actor's perspective, that is a great quality to have as either a show runner or a director. I have less than a handful of writers that I can step outside of myself and just be a fan of their work, and he is one of them.
I left the rally feeling a tremendous sense of unity, and floated a little bit towards my car after my brief encounter with someone who had me at 'hello.'"

Etched. The words were etched by artists. Gently, and with no bloodletting. And no scabs.

My Michael Muhney comment: I've no idea who he is, in terms of acting, because I've not seen him in anything. I have, however, dealt with him before. You might remember him turning up to that cancelled Firefly convention despite not even being a guest, and I sure as hell do; I helped guide him there. He put all his faith in me, a random Joss fan from the UK, because he wanted to help entertain some Browncoats. He's honestly one of the nicest guys I've dealt with in recent years. (The other guy? Alexis Denisof, who I met in Liverpool).

How great would he look playing against Eliza Dushku? Very!

He was good in that, the only other place i've seen him was a guest spot on 'Numb3rs'. He played a special forces guy on the run and I remember thinking that his fight with (ex-special forces guy) Colby was really well choreographed - dunno if he does martial arts or whatever but, short as it was, the fight really had the quality of two very highly-trained, skilled guys going at it. Good work.
Nice story that, sometimes you forget that the folks you see on the magical flickery box in the corner are also just regular people and fans.

And, yeah, gossi, go watch 'Veronica Mars', man!
This settles it: we should have some kind of official decleration ceremony and speech for new browncoats. Or does that make us seem too much like a cult? :-p
