Best known for playing ship mechanic Kaylee on "Firefly", Jewel Staite has also been seen on TV in "Flash Forward", "Space Cases", "Super Dave's All Stars", "Da Vinci's Inquest" and "Higher Ground." Jewel's film credits include "
Serenity" and "Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain."
Jewel gained 20 lbs for the part of Kaylee in the TV series "Firefly"). When the show was later adapted into a motion picture, the show had been over for a little while and she had lost the weight. She was told that they weren't going to give anyone else the part anyway, so she didn't have to re-gain the weight.
