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.

It's closer to just acting in a film because it was a six-month commitment. We got to fly all over the world.

Those are always fun characters to play, the ones who are stupid but speak with authority.

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.

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.

I've signed a few Kaytoo photos and things and a couple of action figures [on ComicCon], but really it's not that many.

This movie [Moana] has a very small cast, and this was the role [Heihei] that they offered me. I loved voicing him.
Alan Tudyk
Image
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
Image
It was a very interesting challenge [Heihei role] because he's limited to rooster-y, chicken-type noises, and he goes along on the whole adventure. It just becomes, If that's how you express yourself, go for it.

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.

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.

Image
[Heihei] a really dumb rooster. You have to just turn the rooster so his head ends up hitting the grain. He's not smart enough to eat.

[Heihei] is stupidest chicken on planet Earth and mascot.

I feel much more comfortable as an artist collaborating with others because I feel more mature.

It was great. We knew we were going back when we finished the movie. It was such a big movie [Star Wars].

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.

It's amazing how much actual chicken sounds lend themselves to stupidity.

I actually oddly have done another robot motion capture. I did Sonny in I, Robot.

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.

[ Gareth Edwards] never wanted to force anything that wasn't true. He's very much an actor's director, and it was loose.
