Alan Tudyk details how they recreated Baby Alien in Season 2 of ‘Resident Alien’ with Nathan Fillion

Two years after the pandemic, it’s time for movie geek conventions to return in all their glory and, as in this case, the series. At the beginning of last December, Comic Con in Lisbon received an Alan Tudyk eager to meet his fans again. “I always went to conventions, at least a couple a year. Usually I don’t meet many fans, here I will be able to because it’s the only possibility”. With the second season of his hilarious ‘Resident Alien’ just finished, even the waiter from the night before recognized him as an alien. However, he acknowledges that “Firefly” fans are “those who come to greet me”. We talked about all these great sci-fi works (including Star Wars) for TV and Disney for cinema in this interview from the capital of Portugal.

Just one of his colleagues and best friend of ‘Firefly’ played a hidden role in a key character of the second season of ‘Resident Alien’: the protagonist of the series created by Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, was the voice on the set of Alien Child . “So I could talk to that puppet. It was so ridiculous hearing your friend’s voice coming out of a mannequin with all these people on set.”. Despite his extreme cuteness as Baby Groot or Baby Yoda, this season finale lets him return to his home planet. Sure, His return could be a possibility for the third batch of episodes, especially “now that we know it’s not a very safe place”. As Tudyk himself states, “the children always come back”. But for now, the only sure thing about that future season is that “starts just a few weeks later, so we’ll explore Henry working for the government”.

After rising to television fame as Wash in the popular ‘Firefly’, joins the Disney family by voicing supporting characters in absolutely all of its films. This is how Alan Tudyk recalls how it all began with the premiere of ‘Wreck It Ralph!’ in 2012, when the director of ‘Toy Story (Toys)’ was still in charge: “John Lasseter shook my hand saying ‘nice to meet you’ in a way that made me wonder what that meant. Then they put me in ‘Frozen,’ directed by Jennifer Lee who is now head of Disney Animation. After that, already in the third I wondered what was happening. Now it’s been 10 years of movies. Oh my god, he’s crazy.”. Indeed, in addition to Henry, he also makes sure that he too is recognized for his hilarious voice acting of the chicken Hei Hei in “Moana”.

More open to Star Wars

In our previous interview, before the premiere of the final part of the second season, the protagonist of “Resident Alien” did not see very clearly that he would return to the Star Wars universe as Cassian’s android “Andor”. For the Texas actor, this series already felt like it was within Disney “Too serious. I don’t know if there’s a place for an intelligent robot that kicks ass.”. However, Its showrunner Tony Giroy recently assured that one of the responsibilities of the second season of “Andor” is to present it. Faced with this possible spoiler, Tudyk went from denial to deviation with the classic “I do not know. Because even when you know, you have to say you don’t know, because they force you not to say anything.” Considering this and that the tall android is “one of my favorite characters”Who knows if we will see him on TV in 2023 first on Disney+ with ‘Andor’ or on SYFY with the next season of the hilarious ‘Resident Alien’.
