King Candy (from Wreck-It-Ralph)

Wash.

[@Sufi7]

Harry Vanderspeigle is my favourite Alan Tudyk's role. He's perfectly cast and so convincing in both comedic and dramatic moments. I heartily recommend Resident Alien to anyone who has missed it so far.🌟

[@tojomojo2]

I was uncomfortable at the start now I can't hear Tudyk and not think of Harry Vanderspeigle. 😅

[@4WheelDaily]

We can't wait for season 3

[@jkosh2046]

He is hilarious 😂 in that show. It's something that can be easily overlooked but his acting in that show is top tier. Him as the actual alien falls flat a bit but only because his physical comedy is just as good as his voice acting and the 2 together is just plain enjoyable to watch.

[@4WheelDaily]

@jkosh2046 when we started watching resident alien, my wife remarked how bad his acting was. She didn't understand how good the acting had to be to make it look that bad.

[@melissaking8321]

Agreed. I love that show. I watch it over n over again. I get bummed waiting for the next season, hoping they wont shut it down

[@lucerobarrera8707]

“I went to Julliard” I love that so much

[@fairystride449]

I laughed so much at that XD

[@FlagCutie]

Same. It always makes me laugh.

[@olleselin]

Tudyk is basically Walt Disney Animation Studios' acquivalent of Pixar's John Ratzenberger. He is and will always be 👑🍬 King Candy to me.... Also, his take on Optimus Prime was pretty damn refreshing as a successor to Peter Cullen

[@chheinrich8486]

Earth spark as a whole is great, I mean we have fucking Keith David as grimlcok😂 and Alan is a worthy optimus

[@aidanhever3369]

Speaking of John Ratzenberger, he hasn't participated in any Pixar projects after Onward.

[@thatguy8514]

Um no. Ratz keeps his same voice for every character and only did animated films.

[@ianlaidlaw9983]

I agree. And I'm not losing my marbles. And I love the performance of the Duke of Weaseltown. [Wesselton!] And the toucan in "Encanto" would have helped me understand how different toucans and puffins are after I mistook Top Wing Brody for a toucan. What a caw-caw-catastrophe! Ian Robert Scott Laidlaw

[@lexramstudios1386]

@@aidanhever3369 now I'm wondering if he'll return for Toy Story 5 to be Hamm again

[@darksakura4040]

"I am a Leaf on the Wind, watch how I- [soar]." a stronger line will never punch me in the gut. Hoban Washburne was, imho, his MOST iconic role and lives in my head rent free.

[@himaro101]

He's criminally underrated. Rewatching Firefly for the umpteenth time and he still makes me laugh.

[@franksolander4208]

%100 same. He is awesome!

[@PatrickMJr]

If only they would bring back Firefly.... not a reboot... but just a continuation of the series before the events of Serenity.

[@EddieDexterStewart]

Bro. 😢

[@MTTT19]

I got the chance to meet Alan Tudyk in 2017. I asked him if he could say, “Have some Candy!” and when he did, I couldn’t stop laughing!

[@1craley878]

Awesome, you’re so lucky. Glad he’s a nice guy about it.

[@caseymacmacl7463]

I adore Resident Alien!!! He's an incredible actor as well as one of the best voice actors around, second only to the late Robin Williams!

[@anapresley6835]

Oh yeah, really underrated tv show! He's amazing in it ✨

[@manipool]

I totally agree! He's amazing.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Alan Tudyk's voice acting is incredible! I love how the voices he uses for animated characters are so realistic that you can't even tell that it's him doing the voice, That's a real voice acting range right there!!!

[@staceysturgill846]

I know this is about Disney, but I love him in Resident Alien. His comedic timing is on point.

[@murphbee]

His voice acting is incredible but he is just as talented when seen. His performance in Death at a Funeral has to be one of the best comedic performances ever. It is a true gift.

[@kaijunasan4497]

This guys officially a NATIONAL TREASURE 👏🏼👏🏼❤

[@kristylewandowski8485]

A Knight's Tale was my first introduction to him, and it was wonderful. Every experience since has just been delightful!

[@brianlipensky1722]

My favorite of his live action roles is as Wash in Firefly, and his voiceover as King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph, especially when he turns into Turbo, and then into the mutated cybug.

[@ashleymulligan1715]

Fell in love w him after watching Dale & Tucker vs Evil! He’s got the look AND sound AND personality that’s one of a kind & naturally hilarious!!! ❤

[@SpacialRend7]

I really like and appreciate the variety of Alan Tudyk’s voice works. He reminds me of another VA, Dee Bradley Baker, who voices a lot of characters as well, whether they speak with words or with their own animalistic tongues.

[@twist58]

It would seem Alan Tudyk and Dee Bradley Baker are the ones serving as Frank Welker's successor in voice acting roles. Whether they be human, humanoid, creature, or animal. They can do it all.

[@jessicapierce3027]

I've been watching Alan Tudyk in Resident Alien, while thinking back on all his roles and just how amazingly talented he is. It's hard to believe he has done so many roles in what seems like a short amount of time.

[@startygernebulla2088]

My favorite Alan Tudyk voice character will always be my man Krei! Also, just a room full of Tudyk's voice characters would have been such a good idea! I can't believe Disney scrapped it!

[@olvialee7221]

From Wreck-it Ralph to Wish. I think he’s amazing

[@olvialee7221]

I find it hilarious that Disney made a funny joke for Alan Tudyk’s characters Duke of Wesselton and Duke Weaselton

[@GloriaGraceRand]

Yes, I noticed that too!

[@Supergirl-rz8yi]

This man does 👏 not 👏 miss 👏

[@aidanhever3369]

He also voiced the Joker and Clayface from Harley Quinn: TAS. No wonder his goat character sounds so familiar.

[@Marqaisa]

K2SO in voice, but Wash in Firefly to see his expressive face. I love Alan Tudyk

[@nmhummel]

My favorite role is in 28 Days with Sandra Bullock. The fork analogy scene cracks me up.

[@Trinny1978]

He will always be Wash to me 🍃

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love this Disney voice actor!

[@trinaq]

Alan has voiced nearly kg my favourite Disney characters, who'd have guessed?! He's such a treasure!

[@bronzepumpkin]

My favorite disney Alan Tudyk roles are Alester Krey and King Candy/Turbo.

[@Serynaborrell]

he is an absolute legend those who agree 👇

[@jaypee116]

I agree🙋🏾‍♂️

[@olvialee7221]

Mel Blanc is the first voice animated actor to voice a lot of characters until years later Dee Bradley Baker came and then, Alan Tudyk. I love voice actors

[@holyspacemonkey]

There were quite a few other voice acting legends in between those, like Daws Butler and Paul Frees.

[@ginnienuckles3992]

loving resident alien and really really miss firefly made me cry in dodgeball love seeing him in everything incredibly talented and seems like a super nice and kind human

[@Jimmersaunt]

I loved him as King Candy! He sounded so much like Ed Wynn I had to google him and make sure he was still deceased!

[@haydendegrow945]

Alan Tudyk is one of my favourite under-the-radar actors. Dodgeball, A Knight's Tale, I, Robot? I love those movies a lot, but for me, his voice acting roles are topped with King Candy. As a guy who loves to do voice-acting, i take my inspiration from the same places as Tudyk. Keep on going, man! Hollywood's not done with you yet!

[@calaches]

He's in ABCs The Rookie as Elroy, a Crime scene clean up guy..he's on twice so far. And his character is just perfectly played

[@joheljimenez696]

Alan Tudyk as King candy was so good and that he's playing as Valtino in Wish omg I kinda thought he sounded like one of the characters from Star Trek awesome work Alan can't wait to see more of your work

[@sandyl4100]

He's so talented!

[@nerd26373]

We will always support this channel. They're one of fhe best.

[@sup3414]

King Candy is still PEAK Disney to this date.

[@TDArulesclub4]

I kept smiling throughout the whole video, I'm so glad Alan Tudyk is getting all the praise and love he deserves. King Candy is definitely my absolutely favorite, now favorite Disney character, and I CAN NOT imagine any other voice actor that would have made him as memorable and great of a villain as Alan. His vocal range is absolutely amazing, I can't wait to meet him one day.

[@user-jw5qj8kv2y]

``Wreck-It Ralph'' was a Disney animated film that featured popular characters from various video games. I was very happy when all the Disney princesses from the past appeared in the sequel.

[@SupergirlUK]

Firefly and Dollhouse were awesome live action roles 👌

[@seancollins7447]

I love this guy and his work

[@buffysummers74]

"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar". I should get it tatooed.❤

[@aaronjanlistanco]

Alan Tudyk next role get an Oscars

[@zeeeeekaaaay]

"I went to Juilliard" - he was so sweet saying that haha

[@s.m.5483]

Resident Alien, Love It!!!Alan Tudyk's voice acting is on par with the UK's Jim Dale, who narrated the U.S. audiobooks for all seven novels in the Harry Potter series, for which he won two Grammy Awards. If you haven't listened to them I Highly recommend them. My kids & I loved them all !!!

[@TheComicbookguy22]

You should do a video based on tudyk’s many voice work for DC comics to. He was flash in Batman the brave and the bold, green arrow in young justice and the injustice games, Superman in the justice league dark films, and joker and clayface in Harley Quinn, and now he’s voicing Dr phosphorus in the DCU animated show creature commandos

[@aaronjanlistanco]

Alan Tudyk is a combination of Jim Carrey x Robbin Williams

[@manipool]

Yes with that rubbery face of his and quick wit. Wonderful. I'd seen him before but Resident Alien got me hooked on his work.

[@mylavenda1]

I love the dodo bird from the first Ice Age. "If you weren't smart enough to plan ahead than DOOM ON YOU!!"

[@elliesheek5944]

That was him?

[@keren.icehand]

He is AMAZING!!! LOVE HIM💜🤗👍

[@samuelcollantes1175]

I felt like i was watching a DVD special feature, how nostalgic! Thanks , Emely, and a happy tuesday afternoon to you as well. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@Alliemariedesigns]

Tudyk is an amazing voice actor! I was beyond amazed just how many characters he’s voiced😱😱 but I also loved him as Dutch in Transformers and Harry in Resident Alien. Just an incredible actor!

[@torrieholden6002]

Alan Tudyk voiced Lenny, Dab, and Freaky Mammal in Ice Age, Cholly in Ice Age: The Meltdown, and Milton and Male Siren in Ice Age: Continental Drift.

[@morriganliban]

one of the most underrated men in Hollywood. Resident Alien is AMAZING!! And his role as Gerhardt in 28 days is EPIC!! (not to mention he is sexy as hell!!!!)

[@kh0034]

Love this guy's talent! Wonder if they would release video of him doing the different voices while in the studio? He looks like he really gets into character. Maybe they used his expressions to make the films more true to life?

[@daniellelake7889]

I love him in Resident Alien on syfy!

[@aveganeverywhere]

Great show. The new season is great.

[@davidallen5783]

You just broke my brain. I didn't realize he did so many choices. Mind completely BLOWN!

[@GeorgiaRattlesnake]

0:37 This is my favorite movie of his, not because I don’t watch cartoons, I do, but because I love Dodgeball. I never knew that the dude who played Steve the Pirate in Dodgeball would end up being Disney’s Good Luck Charm! This is awesome!

[@mollyjen7129]

His best role ever and my favorite, is Harry Vanderspeigle in Resident Alien. Brilliant performance

[@jeffhodge7272]

I hope the series stays on and available for free on Sci-Fi.I don't want to pay any more $ to watch it.😢

[@JamesDoylesGarage]

Resident Alien is astronomically astonishing, with what Tudyk does with the script, of this, out of this world, alien that's becoming humanized. .

[@suzannesanchez4864]

I love all of his characters ❤ He is so versatile and cute in all his roles.

[@GermanBeardGuy]

Tucker - in Tucker and Dale vs Evil. King Candy is awesome too

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Top 5 Laura Bailey voice roles: 1. Shin-Chan (Crayon Shin-Chan) 2. Maka Albarn (Soul Eater) 3. Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) 4. Black Widow (Avengers Assemble) 5. Kid Trunks (Dragon Ball Z)

[@sienna5083]

I have loved this man's work for so long and every time I bring up his name my friends have no idea who I'm talking about, BUT then I start listing everything I know they have seen and the look of shock on their faces is incredible. I will always love the first 2 movies I saw him in; A Knight's Tale and I, Robot. They're movies I enjoy so much; sadly, not enough people I know have seen them. And for dumb comedy, Tucker and Dale vs Evil

[@lynnsmaltino397]

Wow! He’s amazing I didn’t know he was so versatile. I’m obsessed with him in resident alien So talented.

[@angemaidment5640]

I loved him as Gerhardt in “28 Days”. So did Mum. He always made reference to his “package”. 🤣🤣🤣

[@user-gd6vn5vy5v]

Hei-Hei is my favorite Alan Tudyk's role🐓💖

[@LavenderLydia]

I really, REALLY like this format of video! I hope there are more to come similar to this :)

[@MsMojo]

Yay, thank you!

[@chyennemollohan6435]

Also let's not forget his opening scene with Matt Damon in Deadpool 2. Classic.

[@tmoore4075]

He never gets credit for his role in 28 Days. He was so good in that movie.

[@theglace]

I love Alan. He is definitely underrated. Edit: Fave Tudyk role is definitely Tucker, from Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.

[@goodkarmauwu159]

I didn't know!😮 Awesome! I loved his small but funny part in 28 days. 😊 with sandra bullock

[@alma14594]

My favorite is his role in Death at a Funeral. I've followed his work ever since.

[@SpoonMe]

All!!! But especially Wash, Sonny, both made me cry and then Knights Tale, Harry, and HeyHey

[@fethdor]

I didn't know he did some of those voices. He is amazing.

[@Peoe500]

Pure talent and dedication right here. Not enough of that in younger actors these days.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

Tucker and Dale was his role in live action I always remembered by his current role on Resident Alien has got to be my new favorite for him.

[@freerider7738]

I love this guy when he was in the show resident alien

[@user-xh4bw2zc4g]

The security gaurd in transformers 3 has to be the best. All puffy and soft then whips out a shotty and hopds the whole room down. 😂

[@getmario64]

Ah what about him in “Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil?” He played a hillbilly skinny dude named Tucker who caught by these dumb college kids who thought they’re slasher killers? It’s a horror comedy gem.

[@theglace]

We have to go hide all of the sharp objects!! Lol, love that movie. 😆

[@sprigganful]

Exactly.....love tucker and Dale vs evil.

[@vegasnative6394]

He was hysterical in Dodgeball!!

[@justineves3588]

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever he is a great voice actor in everything he does 😊❤❤

[@keithwetherhold1255]

I knew he was talented from watching him in "Firefly/Serendipity", "Dodgeball", and "Alien Resident", but I had NO idea he did all those other voices! No surprise Mel Blanc and Robin Williams were his inspiration. And now that I know he played Weselton & Weasalton, the job makes sense and is brilliant!

[@kakhak]

In top 5 comedians in the World.. It's a happiness that this man was born was alive and is alive for us, for our enjoyment.

[@lilylozano8907]

His role in resident alien is so underrated and hilarious!!

[@user-fv8qo1nn8j]

Great Actor 😊💜❤️

[@Supersquishyawesomeness]

I loved him in 28 days.

[@lourdessaeed358]

Loved him in Doom Patrol

[@ColtonRMagby]

Alan Tudyk is basically Jeff Dunham humor, Robin Williams timing, and Mel Blanc skill wrapped in a handsome package.

[@anthonypena5046]

I find it ironic that he voiced the Mad Hatter in Once Upon A Studio since King Candy was inspired by the latter in two ways his appearance and voice.

[@ATResidentAlienFan]

Absolutely love him!! ♥️Love Resident Alien!! ❤️♥️🔥🥰🎉

[@suebob16]

I agree with the fans that wanted a moment with a gathering of Tudyk's characters for Once Upon a Studio. That would have been so cool! But I'm happy that his voice made it into the short as the Mad Hatter. He deserves it!

[@alternativefashiongothicga7]

Basically resident alien

[@Sufi7]

He's so fantastic in Resident Alien! I love this series and rewatched it a few times. I also like the graphic novel, but Alan and the rest of cast just make it a whole lot better.❤

[@chynne33]

I think the first thing I ever remember seeing him in was Hearts in Atlantis

[@mikeyoung8098]

Resident Alien is my favorite, I had no idea he did all those voice overs. Such a versatile actor! ❤

[@TheBuri00]

He was also in “28 days” with Sandra bullock. His final scene was so funny in that movie

[@danielvasquez8830]

I’m so happy for his success!

[@stevehurley4106]

He is truly the best. Talented, hilarious and multi talented. ❤ Livelong fan 🎉 Resident Alien rules 😁✨✨✨

[@melissaking8321]

If anyone hasnt watched Resident Alien yet you need to. I laugh my butt off every episode. Alan tudyk is a legend

[@NsiimaChloeElizabeth]

the fact that he voiced clayface and the joker in harley quinn will forever have me!

[@noscwoh1]

He is truly a leaf on the wind.
