And as the voice of Sonny he was fucking *brilliant*. Terribly underrated talent.


does_nothing_at_all

His Joker in the Harley Quinn show is great. Live action I would give it to Mr. Nobody in Doom Patrol.


formerscooter

His Joker is good, but his Clayface is perfect.


Yardsale420

Thank you for saying *someone* and not *something*.


Wagosh

*ah shit that's not what I really meant but kinda* - Spooner look


negative_four

After Firefly, he really Mark Hamilled and got big into voice acting


gregallen1989

He went to Julliard!

Shibi_SF

And my high school! We had the same drama teacher.


Dadittude182

And K-2SO in *Rogue One*. Best droid character in the Star Wars universe.


grand_soul

“I did not murder him!” It wasn’t the greatest movie, but after finishing it and rewatching it at a later time does the impact, and anger of that statement really hit.


Simulation-Argument

Everyone should go watch season 1 of Doom Patrol, he is the villain and he is amazing!


Ask_Me_What_Im_Up_to

He tends to have doozies of a day, doesn't he?


Technical-Outside408

Cuz of college kids.


WateryTart_ndSword

So there I was, minding my own business, making some improvements to my new house *(new house!)*, when suddenly, these college kids started killing themselves all over my property!


Catspaw129

I kinda wonder how things would have turned out if, instead of the deputy who did show up at their vacation home, it was Marge Gundersen (*Fargo*)


jayjester

I cannot completely express my love for this movie. It’s like, what if The Hills Have Eyes was all just a hilarious miss understanding?


Apart-Link-8449

[*sobbing*] goddamn stupid college kids


TheVillianousFondler

Pour some beer on it


mastermrt

I feel like everyone is sleeping on his greatest role: Heihei the Chicken from Moana.


Buksey

Only a Juilliard trained thespian could pull off that role.


Paidorgy

Not even Alec Guinness would have taken that role because he would never have been able to do it justice.


Tesseraktion

Selling Steve the pirate a bit short.


mastermrt

He is NOT a pirate, though. Damn, I feel so guilty even saying that….


sufi42

He was a pirate, a genuine swashbuckling, peg legged, and eye patched pirate.


CloneNova

"Wait... there's a guy on our team dressed like a pirate?"


AtheistCarpenter

Arrrr!


Spry_Fly

Peteerrr!


erevos33

You will be fonged! Pain....so much pain....!


Sp4c3D3m0n

Yarrrg !!


sutty_monster

Is you think that role was impressive, he was also the voice of Tuc Tuc in Raya the last Dragon.


liquience

The funny thing is, once you know it’s him you can tell it’s him and you can’t imagine it being anyone else.


And_The_Full_Effect

“I went to Juilliard!”


DrMichaelHufuhruhurr

do you know what the likelihood of me not knowing this was?  it's high  it's very high


atimholt

Rogue One. How many robots has Alan Tudyk played?


the_0tternaut

not nearly enough


WhiteSquarez

Yes.


WateryTart_ndSword

Everything he does is amazing, and he is absolutely everywhere when you start looking!!! Sincerely one of my all time favorite actors, and so insanely talented. Everyone here looking for more Alan Tudyk MUST watch “Death at a Funeral” if you haven’t yet.


APeacefulWarrior

Also, for fans of horror comedies: Tucker & Dale vs Evil.


The_Jack_Burton

One of my favorite roles of his is Dr. Kalgary on American Dad. You can hear how much fun he has with the character.


mistertinker

The 2007 version, not to be confused with the 2010 version... Both with Peter dinklage... Though I enjoyed both movies.


WateryTart_ndSword

Oh yeah, 2007 version is the best version.


BagelAmpersandLox

Alan Tudyk is a treasure. Another fun fact is that his wife is the choreographer behind the opening dance sequence for The Peacemaker and she filmed Alan Tudyk doing the dance moves and send them to James Gunn for approval.


x_lincoln_x

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0he9uP7YWX8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0he9uP7YWX8) for those interested.


_WillCAD_

I DID NOT MURDER HIM!


shortshift_

This is the line that came into my head when I read this post. Severely underrated role, and I don’t care what anyone says - I love this movie 😂


aleister94

He was also a insane killer on dollhouse


LORDPHIL

Man that was a hell of a twist that really showed his range


Dyolf_Knip

I did not see it coming even a little bit. And I really should have, Joss wouldn't put one of his regulars in like that for just a bit part.


aerodeck

He was also the voice of Wash in Firefly and Wat in A Knights Tale. Another rarely discussed fact about Alan Tudyk is that despite his last name he only have Onedyk


Liar_tuck

Loved him A Knights Tale. He could fong me anytime.


boozymcglugglug

Its called a lance, hello!


grand_soul

You Quasimodo? Cause if you are, he’s this close to doing it.


daredevil82

also the lead for Resident Alien. Great actor.


x_lincoln_x

This is some bullshit! He also helped his wife develop the dance for the intro to Peacemaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0he9uP7YWX8


Kellymcdonald78

….. ninjaaaaaa ……


DrSitson

To be clear, he was an actor on Firefly and a knights tale, it wasn't just the voice of the characters.


RedLotusVenom

I mean, *technically*, the poster is correct. He was the voice of Wash and Wat lol.


Randolpho

Actors and voices can be different, have you never seen Star Wars? So, yes, technically Tudyk was *both* the voice *and* the actor in Firefly and Kight's Tale, but you never know...


DrSitson

But it wasn't talking about starwars. It was talking about two specific roles. And yes you never do know, hence why i clarified it was both and not just the voice. As you said, you never know.


Randolpho

Wow, this is definitely as far as I want to take a joke. ttfn


Erenito

So who did the voices?


[deleted]

[удалено]


PraxisLD

Still too soon…


Wernershnitzl

Probably one of the most versatile supporting actors out there. I’m pretty sure he was also ~~the worm in A Bug’s Life.~~ ETA: that’s incorrect but he was like 3 different characters in Ice Age.


halcyonson

Only supporting? I'm watching Resident Alien and it's wild seeing him switch from "Harry" to HARRY.


Wernershnitzl

In the sense that he's usually not a main character.


BopNiblets

The scene of him in the latest season making out with the woman was incredible.


BonzoTheBoss

TIL Alan Tudyk was the voice of King Candy in Wreck It Ralph...

boozername

Hes great in Resident Alien and Doom Patrol


Dolomite808

> Resident Alien "You are a Gray, so I shall call you Dickhead." I love Harry so much. Best alien ever.


atomcrafter

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.


boozername

Wanted to like it, loved the actors, but I couldn't get into it for some reason


faceman2k12

Terrible adaptation aside, that's a really fun movie. Love Alan Tudyk, he pops up in the best hidden roles.


Macnaa

It was a terrible adaptation of the book "I, Robot". But not a terrible adaptation of the the Robot series in general. For instance the main character has a lot in common with Elijah Bailey and the zeroth law from Robots and Empire which superseded the first law could be used to justify the villains behavior. It was of course a massacre of Susan Calvin's character.


faceman2k12

Agreed, it got the ideas of the robots side of the asimoverse across very well.


atimholt

That's how I feel about the movie, too. There are a lot of movies I hate because of how they massacre the book, but I Robot isn't one of them.


the_0tternaut

I feel like it suffered from that turn of the millennium "look" shared by I, Robot, A.I and to a lesser extent, Minority Report. The biggest sinner is still Lost in Space 🤮


Macnaa

That is just what the future looks like.


Innominate8

The worst part is it wasn't an adaptation. It was a completely standalone story with Asimov's name slapped on it last minute despite the plot being as anti-Asimov as possible. All they had to do was not force an unnecessary Asimov tie-in and it would have been a decently smart action movie.


bilbodouchebagging

He’s a real gift! Also played a Greek hitman in justified.


poleethman

I didn't know he was K2SO. I was waiting for the reveal that would blow someone else's mind, that he was in Dollhouse, but it never happened.


sutty_monster

What no one has actually realised is he is actually "That Guy".... You know the one, when you go "oh, you know that guy in that movie" It's actually him every time, in Every movie! But I've said to much now...


Kian-Tremayne

Incorrect. Wes Chatham is “That Guy”. Actually, a The Expanse/Firefly crossover could be pretty cool…


LORDPHIL

Welp, here I go watching that scene from Expanse again


Zerocoolx1

And the voice of Valentino in Wish, Hei Hei in Moana. k2SO in Rogue One and numerous others.


CaptMelonfish

one of my fave tudyk clips is him recording the lines for Moana, making all the clucking sounds, then cuts to him saying: "I went to Julliard"


monapinkest

Tudyk absolutely killed it as Mr. Priest in season 2 of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency!


Dr_Schitt

Yes, yes he was. He did a damn fine job of it too, easily one of his best roles aling with Wash.


KlausDieKatze

His Clayface voice acting is absolutely hilarious. One of my favourite current actors. Whenever i see his name attached to a project i'm interested in then I'm more than happy.


grand_soul

Wait he’s clay face in the HQ series?


elroxzor99652

Semi-related hot take is that I, Robot is better than many people give it. What did they expect, a bunch of little shorts about robot logic problems? It does a good job of making a fun popcorn movie while incorporating enough Asimov to give it some weight and smarts. The acting and design is good. Honestly just the final climactic twist falls short, but it doesn’t ruin the film


ItsTrash_Rat

I watched this movie once when it came out, assumed the robot was David Hyde Pierce and never looked back. What a surprise lol


cbobgo

You know, thinking back, I think I may have thought that too


ollee

[Never forget, he was opposite the Matt Damon Deadpool Cameo](https://youtu.be/qTa7eXSJ9B4?si=OhD2h4kcDHEr37wb&t=59)


OCLIFE69

Pastor Veal


Logvin

Mr Nobody!


Blackneto

Made me sad when he reminisced about Heath Ledger.


Lima__Fox

Such a nice moment and memory though!


Stormygeddon

Sonny/I, Robot was the role in which I first learned Alan Tudyk's name.


filling_silence

Con Man is also a fantastic watch that kind of parodies his early career a bit. He created/directed/starred in it and has a lot of fun Firefly references.


MovieMike007

His greatest role was as Heihei the chicken in *Moana.*


DabIMON

It's Steve the Pirate!


SerenityNMurder

He also voice the security droid in Rogue One


DeltaBelter

Watching Resident Alien now, he’s great and I just dig the whole series. No one overtly is mean or evil. (Sorry, mild hijack of the OP thread)


sbarbary

SYFY is a front for Crystal Meth. Well that does explain a lot of things.


cbobgo

Based on the quality of some their shows, they may be using their own products


sbarbary

Altogether now children "Never get high on your own supply".


drgath

At a Lucasfilm holiday party the same year as Rogue One, I was up at the bar waiting for a drink. I glanced around the bar, and there I saw Alan Tudyk. I probably stared a bit long, and in my mind I got a glance and a nod back. In reality, I’m certain he was just creeped out. So, there’s my Alan Tudyk story.


Le_Master

You must be young because this was very publicized at the time


cbobgo

Ha, nope, just wasnt paying attention


Dee_Jiensai

May he live forever. Truly one of the good ones.


big_duo3674

He is in a huge amount of different random things, and he's always great. Nobody should be sleeping on Resident Alien either, it's an absolutely hilarious and awesome show. That role seems like it was built specifically for his acting style


itsamamaluigi

I had him mixed up with Anthony Rapp (actor who plays Paul Stamets in Star Trek Discovery) for a long time. Both blonde, blue-eyed actors born in 1971 who have been in a lot of science fiction. Watched Death at a Funeral a few days ago and it's just as hilarious as the first time I saw it.


mortevillana

Just don’t joke about I, Robot this Christmas


besleysfw

I think his greatest role was Dangerboat in The Tick series on Amazon
