Hoban “Wash” Washburne

Serenity’s pilot plays with plastic dinosaurs on the console and can fly the ship through any gap. He is the joker on board and also the one with the most to lose: he loves Zoe and is wary of how close she is to Mal.

Hoban Washburne is Serenity’s pilot and one of the best there is. He grew up on a planet so polluted you couldn’t see the stars – maybe that’s why he loves to fly.

Wash is the joker on board, with loud Hawaiian shirts and plastic dinosaurs on the console. He admires Mal and is also jealous of his close bond with Zoe from the war. In “War Stories” he proves how much courage he has.

Alan Tudyk went on to voice many characters in Disney films and played the robot K-2SO in “Rogue One”.
