Interview from the World Premiere of "I, Robot"
Alan Tudyk's one of those actors that when you mention his name to people,
there's that vague look of recognition but they can't quite put their
finger on where they know him from. But toss out "the guy who wanted to
thrash everyone in 'A Knight's Tale'" or "the gay guy who had relationship
problems in '28 Days' with Sandra Bullock" and you can see the light bulb
starting to glow. And with his role in one of this summer's hottest
comedies, "Dodgeball," you can also add "the guy who played the pirate in
that Ben Stiller movie" to his list of credits.
Of course, none of those prompts are necessary when you talk to any
"Firefly" fan. Joss Whedon's too-soon-canceled TV series has a huge
following of ardent fans. So huge is the short-lived series' fanbase that
Whedon and the original cast are fast at work on "Serenity," a big screen
version of the "Firefly" series.
In "I, Robot," Andy Tudyk dons a special suit (similar to type of work done
by Andy Serkis in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) to help 'flesh out' the
film's lead robot, Sonny. Tudyk not only provided the animation reference
for the CGI technicians but also voiced the character. Though currently in
the middle of filming "Serenity," Tudyk took time out to talk about his
role as Sonny at the "I, Robot" World Premiere.
INTERVIEW WITH ALAN TUDYK ('Sonny'):
When you read a script like this and it says your face isn t actually going
to be seen in the film, what s your first reaction?
(Laughing) Say what?  Now run over the part where you say my face isn t
actually going to be in the film.  That sort of happened. It was
interesting but you know, talking with the director even at the beginning
there were certain things that weren t there but, God, getting to play this
character was amazing. Getting to play a robot  I mean, the way that we
approached it. I was there a month beforehand deciding how the robot moved,
working with this guy, Steven Hill, who s a theater director up in
Vancouver in a studio. It s like [saying softly],  Open your eyes. This is
your first day. What is that smell?  Doing like all this crazy theater
stuff that you never get to do in movies. And so it was extraordinary. And
the actual character and his arc was brilliant.
Did you ever find yourself, after filming was over, doing any of the
physical mannerisms you developed for this role?
You know, I had one day off between the robot and then I went into
 Dodgeball.  So, I had to throw all of those out. I just started slouching
and I was a pirate.
What do you think of the cult-like status of  Firefly  and the upcoming
movie  Serenity? 
It s fantastic.
Why can t fans let go?
I think it s the characters. It kind of boils down to the family of the
characters. I believe in all the actors who are in it   they are so
amazing. We all get along so well but I mean, the work that everybody does,
it s appealing in that way. We have such a strong connection outside of
 Serenity    everybody   I think it translated on screen. And then you have
Joss Whedon writing the stories and those stories just were so fluid.
And will it translate to film?
I think so, yes. I spent all day yesterday, 12 hours yesterday, shooting
it. And what we did yesterday was great (laughing).
