There are great characters played by fine actors, though. At the Serenity press junket in Los Angeles last week we had three mini press conferences – one was with Nathan Fillion, who plays Captain Mal Reynolds, Gina Torres, who

Morena Baccarin plays Inara, Serenity’s ambassador and the ship’s most respectable resident: a bona fide Companion (read: hooker). How did you come to be cast as Inara?
