does anyone think its kinda sad how Tudyk never got a big break in acting, i was watching the dvds today and notice that his facial(sp) expressions are amazing(Our Mrs Reynolds is a nice thing to look at to notice this when Saffron was seducing him). i kinda found the same thing with the guy who played Lorne(too lazy to look up real name) on Angel. anyone agree?

I agree...I really loved his work in "A Knight's Tale"...

Clowns to the left of me… ...Jokers to the right...

He's a working actor.

He did the voice of the robot for I Robot-I'd never have known it unless I had been told earlier.

He was in a Knight's tale, took over for Hank Azeriea on Broadway in Spamalot, Ice Age,Dodgeball etc and has 2 movies in post production and he's currently filming one.

I lincluded a link to his page at imdb.com

I saw Dodgeball before I ever heard of Alan and Firefly, and I remember thinking how terrific " that guy" who played the pirate was.

When I saw Firelfy I didn't even realize it was the same actor...a true testimonial to his phenomenal acting abilities.

Aarrgh!

Not just the voice, he did the whole motion/performance capture. On the DVD documentary of the making of the film, you see him in one of those suits with the ping-pong balls stuck all over it, and there's also a bit with a side-by side comparison with Alan's face/Sonny's face in that Andy Serkis/Gollum mode of things.

I first noticed Alan in the movie 28 days with Sandra Bullock. His character really stood out and I have to admit reminded me of my father's side of the family....German and emotional.
I didn't know his name at that time.
Friends and I planned a trip to NYC and I insisted on seeing Spamalot not knowing Alan was in it. I was so excited and after the play hung out by the stage door for an autograph and picture. What a cutie.

Everybodies makin' a fuss.

I wouldn't say he has never gotten a big break. Maybe he's not widely known, but he is someone that people remember. When Ifirst started watching Firefly, Alan was one of the only actors I knew from other work (besides Gina). It was one of the things that initially drew me to the series.

I would actually say that he's done pretty well in comparison to some of the other Firefly stars.
He was great in Dodgeball...Steve the pirate is probably one of the best characters in that movie! He's also guest starred on a couple different shows, and done some other movies...I really don't think that he's a total loser.

Same thing here -- I was a big Gina fan!

AM I the only one here that thinks Alan is cute? Come on, guys, admit it!
