5. Jimmy Jean-Louis
Jean-Louis is the first of my two choices who haven’t worked with Whedon in the past, but who I think would make great new additions to his frequent collaborators.
Best known for his role as The Haitian in Heroes, he’s terrific as the strong and silent type, often seen in much of Whedon’s work (see David Boreanaz/Nathan Fillion, for example). It’s not often we get to see him on the big or small screen in the UK or US, and I’d love to see him given a leading role as one of the members of S.H.I.E.L.D.
