Tudyk is hilarious

Obligatory behind the scenes of Alan Tudyk voicing a rooster in Moana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaGYXjMwS60

"I w-I went to Juilliard" lol he sounds so disappointed to be voicing a chicken.

edit i'm a huge fan of tudyk, maybe disappointed was the wrong word. more of a "sometimes you just have to laugh" tone. Also everyone needs to watch Resident Alien if you haven't already. I think season 4 dropped recently

Dude has had a legendary career and is universally loved. I doubt that was disappointment.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

There's no way he's disappointed. Every time I see him talk about his work, he's elated. That's probably just clipped from something out of context.

I read that as just a quipy joke anyway. He seems to enjoy playing goofballs.

Dude is happy to play a hammy as shit thespian version of Clayface in "Harley quinn" as well. The character is basically an asinine send up of all things "actor." Im sure he's channeling some of his Julliard days in the role.

He already tends to add a bit of charming ham to most roles he's in. Its why I like him in most of his roles.

Dude got paid $300k to make chicken noises according to this source. I think that should be enough money for him to keep his arrogance on the shelf.

I was so psyched to see that movie, only for it to be more spectacle and lacking substance. Fucking disappointed.

Obviously not even Asimov's story (since it's a collection of stories with an overarching plot). I'll watch it on occasion, but mostly for Alan's work.

I loved the book and the movie broadly addressed the same theme as the final story, ie "what if robots controlled humanity". Maybe you can interpret the movie as an interlude between when the machines actually take over and figure out a more subtle way to control the planet, as they do in the book.

Maddox Mission said it best,

15 minutes into the movie I wanted to watch a movie on my JVC player, wearing converse while drinking some ovalteen as I got into my Audi.

the movie was one product placement after another.

What's the problem if he was testing better?

Whatever brings in the most viewers?

Advertise both of them.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Lol, you've never heard of touchy A-list actors. The implication here is that Smith's team killed Tudyk's inclusion in promo.

Ego says no.

Wouldn't be the first time he got someone fired now would it?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

Except his mindless, tone-deaf crotchfruit. That dumbass gets spooned into things like Willy's carrying a dustpan everywhere.
