Does Alan Tudyk Know Lines From His Most Famous Movies & TV Shows?

[@arothmanmusic]

Alan Tudyk is one of those guys who just shows up in *everything* and you don't know it's him until you see the credits because he's just that versatile.

[@mustangmaniac614]

For real! I had no idea that he voiced all those characters.

[@keith_5584]

INFPs are incredible actors, but often get stuck in dark places. When we see another INFP there, we immediately know its serious and need to act. When you dont see it or cant help; it is miserable. Chris Cornell Chester Bennington Heath Ledger You could feel them giving it everything, it was profound. You could feel the real pain they had and that was channeled to the character/performance. It wasnt just acting or preforming, there was real pain they were referencing, and its unfortunate that dredging up that pain gives the best performance. Even worst of all, trying to settle that pain back down with medications backfires very hard. They just do not work but hurt the patient and corner them with those feelings, except amplified. (FYI I am talking about legally prescribed anti-depressants and Anti-Anxiety meds, not street drugs)

Sadly, that could be said of the Fox network, too. _Many_ a good show aired on Fox, which got the axe, all because of poorly accumulated viewer metrics (curse you, Neilson Ratings!) that I don't feel ever properly conveyed actual viewer numbers. I guess that's one other positive to the streaming era... cold, hard, indisputable numbers. So let there NEVER be another _Firefly_ type situation, *ever* again! [/micro-rant] 😅

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

@@iankellymorris That's been the issue ever since the dawn of TV shows. There's a reason a site called Renewed or a Canceled was started! _(doesn't seem to be around anymore, but there are still plenty of copies that are up in its place, on IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, etc)_ But I agree, it sucks to love a show, then realize "man, it's been awhile, where's the next season?!"... only for panic to set in as you *_then_* realize "awww shit, it's been canceled, huh? 😟" I really wish an unwritten law amongst studios could be established (or better yet, a written one lol) where shows to be axed, are assured adequate time to either: find new financial backers/new studio/etc in order to continue the show - like _The Expanse_ with getting un-canceled by Amazon picking it up _(and now apparently canceled again?)_ - OR given a season to properly wind the show down and let them write a suitable end. Unlike Stargate Universe (or Atlantis before it) where it basically happened in 1 episode so since it was sudden and rushed. But now I'm living up to my name, so... 🤐 😅

The reason Alan is so underrated is because his most memorable characters are just voices, so many people have no idea they love him.

[@thephantomtimelord1613]

In addition to that a lot of those voices are so different from each other, they don't even sound like him most of the time. Unless I know that it's him doing a characters voice beforehand I usually don't even realize it was him until I'm watching the credits.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Out of curiosity, I went to his Wiki page... and whoo boy 🤣🤣 A character name in a Web series called "TableTop": Doctor McLickhertitty

Okay so this man is responsible for every happy memory I've ever had with film. Also Alan Tudyk is Harry Vanderspeigle.

[@hunter-94]

That’s what I learned watching this was that Harry Vanderspeigle has a lot of Alan Tudyk. A lot of the pace of speech and directness and stuff. Or maybe that’s just because what he’s spent the most time on lately, but definitely agree.

The thing I adore about A Knight's Tale is you can see everyone is having an amazing time and not just in the show but in real life as well. Heath's smile, as he enjoys every minute of it is so genuine.

[@susie9893]

This is true but the supportive cast was amazing! I just remember being so annoyed when they'd cut away to the Jocelyn scenes 🙄 (could she have been more wooden??)

[@pampire13]

I loathed anachronism is historically set movies until that movie.

[@brianeleighton]

​@@pampire13 I think it is because for most historical films any anachronisms are essentially because of the laziness of the filmmakers. On the DVD the Director in the commentary made the point that the anachronisms in A Knight's Tale actually serve an artistic purpose. The best example is the banquet scene where they are learning the dance. Medieval music to our modern ears sounds somewhat simple and, for lack of a better term, sedate. To medieval ears that music was "modern music". So the dance scene starts with pure medieval music and over the course of the dance David Bowie is slowly mixed in to the music. By the end of the scene they are dancing to David Bowie at full levels.

[@brianeleighton]

​@@susie9893In fairness to the actress who played Jocelyn, that was literally her first acting job. She was a DJ in LA and met the producer at a party she worked. The rest as they say, is history 😂

[@kanutj3n]

my favourite actor, whenever he shows up you KNOW it's gonna be a banger! :D i love his roles.

[@michaelyano6094]

A knight's tale is one of my all-time favourite movies. Alan does an excellent job in this movie, gave me quite a few laughs!

[@twinly92]

Alan Tudyk seems like such a delightful person

[@jamesschmames6416]

We all owe that teacher a huge debt of gratitude.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

He will always be Steve The Pirate to me.

[@roberwin1093]

I'm always pointing out to my wife all of the Alan Tudyk characters in my favorite movies. She MUST be sick of hearing "That's Wash from Firefly!"

[@jn9850]

Not if she has good taste 😂

[@CinnamonQuills]

I do that with my adult kids. "OH MY GOSH, do you know who that is??" "Is it Alan Tudyk? 😑" "IT'S ALAN TUDYK!"

[@kwalker123]

I love it when I fall in love with a character (he does such a good job of making them different) and sometimes it takes a beat for me to remember him as Wash (who will be near and dear to my heart forever).

[@princessblazena]

I'm the same with my fiance, I point out Alan excitedly, and he just nods and smiles, confused, but he knows better than to ask questions 😂

[@4aw50fGold]

These are the best comments I’ve seen, Alan Tudyk is a treasure.

[@Dc-alpha]

Missing Mr Nobody and Suburgatory (honourable mention I suppose) and so many others. You forget how Hank Azaria he is though. " I was in every one since" and "Yh, I did two lines each for 10 characters and got 3 of them". Meanwhile 5 of the 7 left are the names attached to get butts in seats and the other two are x's sister, the one who can sing and/or that voice everyone knows but can't name. Underrated and prolific. International treasure.

[@jackiea8274]

He is as funny and lovely as I’d guess him to be. Love this!

[@saramarie516]

I just finished season 2 of Resident Alien and I would watch it all over again! I've always been a huge fan of Alan Tudyk's, but that show really shows off his talent as an actor. Everything about Harry is so well-played!

[@susie9893]

Chung Chung!

[@UninformedProduction]

Alan Tudyk deserves to be a household name, better than a lot of A-List celebrities! One of my favorite actors after stumbling into Serenity back in the day

[@Fafnerluver922]

He was amazing in Firefly. That show is a masterpiece.

[@alex0589]

Anytime he shows up in anything, it makes me happy. A leaf on the wind

[@caljones]

Very glad to see that Wat was in here lol. Every time I hear someone talk about working with Heath, he’s spoken of with such affection.

[@NicolaiAAA]

For whatever reason it always scrambles my brain that he was Sonny. I think maybe because I wasn't fully aware of who Alan was when first watching that movie. And he does Ed Wynn SO well, that's exactly who I thought of when I first heard King Candy speak.

[@EllisThings]

"Oh hi-de-ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day" "Garrr"

[@lexllv]

Tucker and dale vs evil is my comedy comfort movie 😂

[@whedonite81]

I love him, he just makes me happy. Some of these I didn't realize he had voiced and now I love him more. I wish they had Simon from Death at a Funeral, Alpha from Dollhouse, Tucker form Dale & Tucker vs. Evil and Mr. Nobody from Doom Patrol

[@cfawcett9870]

Thank you for mentioning alpha! If no one else had I was going to because he was brilliant in dollhouse

[@bobbuethe1477]

And Van Wayne from "Powerless." I didn't expect any quotes from "Powerless," but I was hoping...

[@susie9893]

Yes, I couldn't believe they repeated some characters but left out some of his best characters

[@UncleManuel]

I know Alan since the "Firefly" days. Nathan, he, ,Summer, Morena (well, pretty much *all* of the cast!) were the heart & soul of that beloved show that got butchered by the TV station. But hey, Alan pops up pretty much EVERYWHERE since and I just love it! 😎🤘

[@rev68]

It's nice to see that Alan has a special place in his heart for the thing that had a special place in our hearts.

[@catherinegarcia07]

I get absolutely nothing but good vibes from Alan. I've been binge watching Resident Alien on Netflix and I'm having fun watching. I really hope they do a season 4.

[@cbpd89]

I knew a few of these voice overs were him, but some of them surprised me. The man's got range! I have a pretty good ear for recognizing voice over actors, but he is a chameleon.

[@Adamsbrown81]

I adore this man, one of my all time favourite actors. I huge inspiration for me. It seems like if you have a quirky, short-lived show with a passionate fan base then hiring him is a requirement. He's popped up in so many of my favourite things. Firefly, Dirk Gently, Harley Quinn, The Tick.

[@ellieu.6575]

Alan Tudyk is absolutely amazing.

[@DankrumStar]

He’s adorable and I love him so much

[@mikewolf5367]

Everyone loves this man. He brings so much to every character he plays. Even when guest starring on other shows he steals the scene. ❤

[@josephreusch]

I had no idea he did half of these voice over roles, so cool! Knight’s Tale will forever be one of my favs and I was so shocked he wasn’t actually British!

[@Cartho8236]

“I’m a leaf on the wind watch how I soar” from Serenity is one of my favorite lines in movies and also A Knight´s Tale is a fave. 👍

[@daTribbleMaker]

Will not spoil it for those who haven't watched Serenity, but I saw no point in what happened after that line. Saw no point to the story at all. (you have to watch if you are curious and do not assume based on my ambiguous comment what the next scene was, you might just be wrong)

[@HannahB-dg9sl]

Alan is iconic in every one of his roles. That man is a legendary creator!

[@JeniferClemente-y2n]

Holy crap! He voiced various characters in Ice Age?! How did I not know this? 😆 He is such a legend. Still enjoyed him in a lot of films he did^^
