From what I've heard, AT wanted to keep his schedule free for Broadway.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I figured they killed Wash because otherwise he had nothing to do in the picture.

do you really think Alan Tudyk would've been available for sequels?
Well, considering I have no idea what else he's done, it never crossed my mind. And he had as much to do as anyone else, I guess.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He had a sizable support role in "A Knight's Tale" and he's doing "Spamalot" on Broadway. Movie and Broadway roles beat continuing SF roles in the status hierarchy.

Serenity is a movie, though.

I'm pretty sure that movies-based-on-genre-TV (e.g. Star Trek) don't count for any more than the original TV.
