From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
Sometimes one movie can turn you on to a great actor. Death At A Funeral was the movie that turned me on to Alan Tudyk. His showing a little skin did not hurt, but it was his performance that attracted me most. Funny how you IMDB someone and realize you have been watching this actor in other projects for years. Alan has been in Ice Age, Arrested Development, Firefly, I, Robot, Knocked Up to name just some of his work. Check him out, he is truly enjoyable to watch on screen.
Alan Wray Tudyk (born March 16, 1971) is an American actor, and voice artist known for his roles as Hoban "Wash" Washburne in the space western television series Firefly and movie Serenity and Wat in A Knight's Tale.
