TALKING WITH ROGUE ONE‘S ALAN TUDYK

Via Starwars.com:

THE ACTOR DISCUSSES BRINGING THE NEW DROID TO LIFE, ANTHONY DANIELS’ CHOICE WORDS UPON LEARNING IT WAS A MOTION-CAPTURE PERFORMANCE, AND MUCH MORE.

Alan Tudyk can’t find a parking space.

The voice and motion-capture actor responsible for playing droid K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has serious cred in the sci-fi and fantasy genre. So much so, he deserves a reserved spot for his wheels.

His live-action roles are many — Tudyk played Hoban “Wash” Washburne in Joss Whedon’s cult TV series Firefly and subsequent film Serenity — and he currently stars in, writes, and directs the Spandex comedy Web series Con Man. In fact, he’s heading to the Con Man office as we speak. The series, now available on the Comic-Con HQ streaming service, debuts its second season in late 2016.

In the meantime, other projects pile higher than an AT-AT. He’ll be appearing September 2 at Dragon Con in Atlanta unveiling the new Con Man game app. Tudyk says he’ll be walking down the aisle soon, too, and we’re not talking red carpet, here. And that’s just scratching his calendar’s surface.

“Wonderful,” Tudyk says as he finally docks his vehicle into a parking spot, his voice sounding like a cartoon character you can’t quite pinpoint.

Speaking of spots, when December arrives and Rogue One hits screens, Tudyk will officially have a firm spot in the Star Wars universe. That’s something, he says, he hasn’t quite fully grasped.
