More quotes by Alan Tudyk
Gareth [Edwards] was very much about including everyone in what we were making, so he would cut together different scenes to show us what we were making. And the crew, cast, everyone would go into a theater there at Pinewood Studios and watch 10 minutes of what we were making. It was always so exciting. It looked amazing, and the music was huge.
Alan Tudyk
[I'm] a huge defender of clowns around the world.
Alan Tudyk
Gareth [Edwards] was very open to just shaping the performances and the scenes to fit what was happening with the actors and the storytelling that was emerging.
Alan Tudyk
You do a film and you have hopes for it, and you read it, and you see it one way in your head, and you shoot it, and it'll always change from what you started out. Sometimes it turns out better, sometimes it turns out I don't know, but as movies go I've never experienced seeing and likening what I've read, and I liked what I read.
Alan Tudyk
The reason I got into acting was the audience is right there and if you did something great they were right there and you knew it.
Alan Tudyk
I like comedies, and my brain sort of spins in that direction. So I'm really happy to say there were several smartass comments that come from me [on Star Wars].
Alan Tudyk
R2-D2 is like that, but I think because he doesn't speak actual words, his jokes don't land. It's really a hindrance. And the same with BB-8. But Artoo is a lot stronger.
Alan Tudyk
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. Some films can, but not too much.
Alan Tudyk
I was going to be credited as Wray Nerely, my role in Con Man. It got cut in the reshoots. I was like, Wait a second. I'm cut. It's a better telling of the story, but unfortunately, Wray Nerely gets cut, which is actually exactly right because if Wray Nerely was ever in Star Wars, he wouldn't make it to the final edit.
Alan Tudyk
Those are always fun characters to play, the ones who are stupid but speak with authority.
Alan Tudyk
When we recorded [Moana], I would do all of the stuff and then save all the big screaming for last so that you can really blow it out and ratchet it up every time, get that perfect panicked pitch.
Alan Tudyk
Because I'm CGI, [John Swartz] gave me a role of an Imperial pilot in one scene, so I had a day where I was on camera dressed as a black suit and a little cap that they wear.
Alan Tudyk
[Heihei] is stupidest chicken on planet Earth and mascot.
Alan Tudyk
BB-8 [from Star Wars] his accent is so thick. You can't make out a damn word he says.
Alan Tudyk
Those in power at Disney, the very generous figures at Disney Animation, have convinced themselves I'm a good-luck charm for their movies, which is great. It's working out really well for me, and it seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Alan Tudyk
This movie [Moana] has a very small cast, and this was the role [Heihei] that they offered me. I loved voicing him.
Alan Tudyk
I'm a geeky actor, in the way that I like the craft of acting. I trained as a stage actor and was given a lot of technical tools to play with. I like the craft of acting. It sounds geeky when I say it, but it's true.
Alan Tudyk
I feel like it'll change after the movie [Star Wars] comes out, if it does. It's really the other way around, surprisingly, as far as Con Man goes.
Alan Tudyk
I actually oddly have done another robot motion capture. I did Sonny in I, Robot.
Alan Tudyk
It's closer to just acting in a film because it was a six-month commitment. We got to fly all over the world.
