Firefly cast

So I saw High School Musical the other day. I'm watching it, and I kept thinking that the lead guy looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I'd seen him. So I go on IMDB, and it turns out that the actor's name is Zac Efron, and his first major acting gig was as the young Simon Tam on Firefly!
He was a lot younger when he did that, though, so I feel like maybe I've seen him somewhere else, maybe some Disney Channel promo, or something.

Funnily enough, I was flipping channels during the breaks in the Eagles-Ravens pre-season game last week, and suddenly I stop, because Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn, on Buffy) and Sean Maher (the grown Dr. Simon Tam) are on the screen. together. I watch for a minute, and their characters' conversation leads to a sex scene. (Lifetime has way more sex scenes than you might think, btw) All I could think was, 'Two Whedon vets in a Lifetime movie together! sogreat! and weird.' I was also trying to guess the age difference between MT and SM. ('bout 10 years, in case you care)

I feel like I did a while back (March) when I saw Adam Baldwin on Bones and Christina Hendricks on Without a Trace, both without even knowing ahead of time that the actors would be guest starring. Considering I never watch WaT, it must be kismet, my being guided to Firefly actors. I seem to stumble across them on tv without ever meaning to.

Indeed, it seems I was fated to be a Browncoat. ;)
