Alan Tudyk

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.

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!

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.

In preparing for the role of Sonny in the film, 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.

To prepare for the role of "Steve The Pirate" in the movie Dodgeball, Alan joined a group of pirate role players called The Rumrunners and spent a week at Pirate Camp.

Alan plays the game Halo 2 online using X Box live. He was introduced to playing by Firefly co-star Nathan Fillion.

In the episode commentary for the Firefly episode War Stories (1x09) Alan jokes that when he couldn't remember the Chinese dialogue he would just make it up and hope no one noticed.

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."

When Firefly was cancelled, Alan threw a "We Don't Work for FOX Anymore" party for the cast and crew.

While in college, Alan was active in the Delta Psi Omega fraternity.

Alan was awarded the Academic Excellence Award for Drama while he was studying Drama at Lon Morris Jr. College

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 Sara Ramirez, another performer in the production at this time, was in Alan's class (Group 26) at Juilliard.

Alan is 6' tall (1.83 m).

Smokey and the Bandit is Alan's favorite movie.

Alan once owned a 1964 Mustang, which he named "Old Sock." He considered it his most prized possession.
