Well, considering I have no idea what else he's done, it never crossed my mind.
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.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

I'd say it depends on the box office and the paycheck. Serenity fails on the box office front, but I don't know how much he was paid for either, and how much of his intended future audience saw either movie and rated it/him favourably.
Mostly, though, I was challenging "continuing SF roles" -- I had no idea you meant from TV when you said it. Carrie Ann Moss might disagree with the literal interpretation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hooooooly Cow.
I think the woman in the seat next to me is having a breakdown of some sort. She's all rambling and paranoid and I have ZERO idea what to do.
We started the same day, she's only been here two months, nobody knows her really. And I don't want to get her in trouble.
She doesn't sound like she'd hurt herself. I suggested she take her lunch and walk and get some air but that was mostly to get her away from me so I could panic in peace.
What the hell do I do?

Trudes, do you mean to be posting in here?

Ouch, Trudy. Wish I knew what to suggest, other than going for a long walk yourself.

Is Carrie Ann Moss getting offers outside the genre ghetto?

We don't talk as much as we used to, so I couldn't tell you. She has worked outside the genre ghetto, so I'd assume some of them are offers.
I'd also assume she made decent bank.
Surely you're not saying that recurring SF movie roles are bad or always trumped by Broadway or other movies, though?
