Alan Tudyk : There aren’t too many new actors like
Alan Tudyk : In high school I wanted to be a hotel manager. If you’re an actor, you don’t have any money and I wanted to have a wife and children. Now I’m an actor with money but I still don’t have a wife and children!
Alan Tudyk: The suit itself (on I, Robot ) wasn't uncomfortable, as far as like a 'These shoes are uncomfortable, they give me a blister kind of thing.' It was more, 'Oh my God, you can see my package.' It was all out there. I've seen that kind of unitard before on dancers, on gymnasts and superheroes. People who typically have great bodies. If you put one on, and you don't have a really good body, it looks terrible.
According to the rest of the Firefly cast, Alan was consistantly the worst speaker of Chinese on the show! He puts this down to having to learn long and complicated sentences like "Mother of God and all her wacky nephews" in Mandarin.
To prepare for the role of Steve The Pirate in Dodgeball, Alan joined a group of pirate role players called The Rumrunners and spent a week at Pirate Camp.
Alan played the character of "Wat" in A Knight's Tale.
In the Firefly episode "Out of Gas" (1x05) Wash wires up a large, red button for the captain to press if he needs the crew to return to the ship. When he shows it to Mal he says, "When your miracle gets here, just hit this button." When Alan left the Firefly set after the series was cancelled, he took that button as a keepsake. When Joss Whedon announced that he would be searching for a way to bring the show back, as either a series or a feature film, Alan sent him the button with a note that said, again, "When your miracle gets here, just hit this button."
While in college, Alan was active in the Delta Psi Omega fraternity.
Alan filled in for Hank Azaria in the Broadway show Spamalot while Azaria was filming the second season of Huff and working on the seventeenth season of The Simpsons. Actress
Smokey and the Bandit is Alan's favorite movie.
