Alan Tudyk

I trained as a stage actor and was given a lot of technical tools to play with.

I'm a geeky actor, in the way that I like the craft of acting.

I'm very interested in Comedia dell'Arte.

I'd love to work with Jed Whedon on 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'

I would love to work with Joss Whedon again.

I'm not so certain in life.

You know those people in life who are a bit eccentric and larger than life or a bit odd? That their realm of possibility around them is larger than somebody who's called normal? What's normal for an oddball? They could start screaming in public. That's fun to play.

Whedon changed my life.

I certainly don't understand Fox's decision-making process.

Reading is a heady thing. You can be into the action of someone's thoughts and take a whole trip down someone's ruminations while seconds tick by in the world that they're in, but you can't really do that in film.

Hollywood comedy has gotten really silly and absurd, and I like that.

I loved cartoons as a kid, and so many funny moments in animation for me are nonverbal sounds, unarticulated mouth noise.
