Summary

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today's episode was such a blast. I'm talking with none other than the amazing Alan Tudyk! Alan is currently starring as Harry Vanderspeigle in the new season of Resident Alien. He also plays K-2SO in Andor, Hoban 'Wash' Washburne in Firefly, Wat in A Knight's Tale and so so many iconic voice roles, including Valentino in Wish and the Duke of Weselton in Frozen. We have so much fun in this conversation and I loved learning more about Alan's journey from doing stand-up in a Holiday Inn, to Juilliard dropout, to working with some of the biggest names in Sci-Fi. Plus, we get to bond over our experience in the Star Wars universe and what it's like to be be part of a franchise that fans desperately want to revive (Battlestar for me, Firefly for him). Be sure to stick around after the conversation for the Hindsight, where I get together with my producer Jeph to talk over the episode, talk about upcoming convention appearances and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack!
