4. Alan Tudyk (as Hoban “Wash” Washbourne) – The year after Firefly ended, Tudyk appeared as Steve the Pirate in Dodgeball: An Underdog Story. Next he was in I, Robot, Death at a Funeral, 3:10 toYuma, and Knocked Up as Katherine Heigl’s boss. He was in episodes of Arrested Development, as Pastor Veal, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He was in three episodes of V and four of Dollhouse. He’s been a voice actor, voicing characters in Ice Age; The Meltdown, Astro Boy, and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, as well as in cartoons Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Young Justice, American Dad, and Family Guy and video game Halo 3. He appeared in Transformers: Dark of the Moon and now appears in the main cast of successful first year ABC sitcom Suburgatory.
3. Morena Baccarin (as Inara Serra) – She had a vocal role in three episodes of Justice League as Black Canary and appeared in three episodes of The O.C. She was in single episodes of Kitchen Confidential, How I Met Your Mother, Justice and Las Vegas. She appeared in six episodes of Stargate SG-1 season 10 as primary antagonist Adria. She co-starred in TNT Treat Williams-led one season hospital drama Heartland. She appeared in individual episodes of Dirt, Numb3rs, Medium, The Deep End, and The Mentalist. She starred in two season ‘80s remake V on ABC as villainous alien and primarily antagonist Anna. Her most recent role is starring in Showtime smash new series Homeland as Jessica Brody, the wife of longtime prisoner of war inIraq, Nicolas Brody. I almost put Baccarin second because of Homeland, but changed my mind. Still, it gets her third over Tudyk.
2. Gina Torres (as Zoe Washburne) – She was in two episodes of The Guardian and in Matrix Revolutions (she was in the other two as well, but they came out before Firefly was done). She appeared in seven episodes of 24 as Julie Milliken, wife of an important donor to President Palmer’s campaign, who had an affair with Palmer’s brother Wayne. She appeared in a vocal capacity in six episodes of Justice League as Vixen. She was in two episodes of The Shield, one of Without a Trace, and three of Alias, reprising a character she had played before Firefly. She was the titular wife in I Think I Love My Wife. She co-starred in one season Standoff on Fox aside Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt. She was, over the next few years, in single episodes of Boston Legal, Bones, Pushing Daisies, The Unit, Drop Dead Diva, The Vampire Diaries, and The Boondocks. She was in two episodes of Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, Flash Forward and Gossip Girl. She was in ten episodes of ABC Family’s Huge as a director of a camp for overweight kids and voiced Airachnid in the current Transformers: Prime animated series. She’s currently co-starring in USA’s Suits as a lawyer and boss of main character Harvey Specter.
1. Nathan Fillion – Immediately after Firefly’s end, Fillion was a recurring character on Alicia Silverstone one season sitcom Miss Match. He was in two Justice League episodes as the voice of Vigilante. He was in a flashback episode of Lost as a fiancé of Kate’s. He got a second attempt at starring in a series in Fox’s Drive, but the show lasted a mere 6 episodes. Fillion appeared in Waitress and in two episodes of One Life to Live. He showed up in 11 episodes of Desperate Housewives as Dana Delany’s character’s ex-husband. In 2008, he co-starred in internet production Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog by Joss Whedon. He lent his voice to three episodes of Robot Chicken. He got his now biggest role in 2009, with the debut of ABC’s Castle, now in its third season, and already renewed for a fourth. Fillion has also voiced characters in several video games, including Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Jade Empire. Playing the titular character in a successful show that has run longer than anyone else from Fifefly’s (well, except Adam Baldwin’s Chuck) gets him the top position.
Television, the Drug of the Nation 
Malcolm Renolds (yes I am using the character name) deserves the top spot even if he has done nothing but sit in his living room since the show ended. Its the cool factor
