"Alias" baddie Gina Torres has joined the cast of Joss Whedon's pilot "Firefly" along with Ron Glass ("The Education of Max Bickford") and Summer Glau, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The trio helps round out a cast that
already includes Nathan Fillion ("Two Guys and a Girl"), Adam Baldwin ("The X-Files") and Jewel Staite. The sci-fi pilot, to which FOX gave a 13-episode commitment based on Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" track record, is set several hundred years in the future and follows the crew of a transport ship as they move from job to not-always-legal job. Whedon has described the pilot as a Western set in space. Torres plays Anna Espinosa, the nemesis of lead character Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) on ABC's "Alias." She also starred in the syndicated series "Cleopatra 2525." Glass is best known for his role as Detective Harris on the 1970s comedy "Barney Miller." Whedon is writing and drecting "Firefly's" two-hour pilot, which is scheduled to begin production in March.
