Alan Tudyk’s Tricks for Building an Eccentric Character Like ‘Resident Alien’

Alan Tudyk has long been giving us some of the most memorable character work in the biz, from “A Knight’s Tale” to “Firefly” to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” and voiceover performances to match, from “Harley Quinn” to “Robot Chicken” to “Big Hero 6.” Syfy’s new adaptation of the comic book of the same name, #ResidentAlien (which premieres Jan. 27), is more of what we love! He stars as Harry Vanderspeigle, a crash-landed alien named Harry who takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor. Join him in conversation with managing editor Benjamin Lindsay above!
