  external: The Alan Tudyk Effect Nov 26, 2007 (Score: 2)
  

He currently lives in New York City, but has a place in Los Angeles. While house hunting in LA Alan house-sat for Firefly and Serenity co-star Nathan Fillion. (edit) Alan didn't go to his senior prom because the girl he was planning to take two-timed him with another guy -- and got pregnant! (edit) 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. (edit) In preparing for the role of Sonny in I,Robot, Alan studied dance, movement, and mime to accurately portray movement that has been programmed in. His work was captured with green screen technology. (edit) 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. (edit)

Alan Tudyk : There aren’t too many new actors like Alan Arkin or Gene Hackman who exist on their own frequency, do things in a way that nobody else could get away with. Those are the people who are inspirational to me. (edit) Alan Tudyk : I was a real ham as a child. I'd insist on dressing up as a cowboy whenever the family went out for dinner. In high school, I was a menace. I'd fake nose bleeds and fainting spells to panic my teachers. (edit) 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! (edit) Alan Tudyk : Wash does a lot of this; I land the spaceship and I go "Be careful everybody!" and then they do these extraordinary things and they come back and I go, "Thank God you made it! Strap in, I'm going to fly!" I do the babysitting job on the spaceship
(edit) 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. (edit)
