Surely you're not saying that recurring SF movie roles are bad or always trumped by Broadway or other movies, though?
I'm saying that if you want to be taken seriously as a character actor, a recurring role in an SF show is not your best bet. You want to show versatility, and a recurring role is bad for that, and you want to be taken seriously, and an SF show is bad for that.
But, hey, I'm not in the industry; I could be talking through my hat.
I'll tell Carrie Ann she should be returning your calls.
Alan didn't opt out of a recurring role in a TV show, though.
But I already said that a recurring role in a movie based on SF tv is equivalent to a recurring role in the original TV show. None of the original Star Trek supporting actors is considered a movie star, even though they're in hit movies.
Okay, Carrie Ann Moss didn't opt out of a recurring role in a TV show. Since you were talking about her too, I thought we were talking about the literal interpretation ("Carrie Ann Moss might disagree with the literal interpretation."), not your clarified position.
I have no idea which point we're talking about now, to be honest, so I'll stop.
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 was talking about that.
edit: whoops, sorry, that was a clarification. My bad.
Alan was also in two big movies in 2004, Dodgeball and I, Robot. Combined with Spamalot, I'd say he's the most "going places" of the cast.
Just as, dammit, Seth Green made absolutely the right career decision about leaving Buffy.

Though Allyson Hannigan didn't, and I'd say she's got the most play of any of them other than SMG.
The cover of the Serenity trade.
And has anyone heard anything about this book?
Supposedly, it's an original novel set in the Serenity universe, written by the gentleman who wrote the movie novelization, Keith R. A. Candido. However, he posted on the official movie board back in August that no such book existed nor was it planned to exist. Make of this what you will.
