History Creator / AlanTudyk

* OlderThanTheyLook: Can you believe he's only in his ''fifties?''

* ''Film/Deadpool2'' as a redneck who gets killed by Cable (2018)

** He wasn't always thus: as Wat in ''Film/AKnightsTale'' (admittedly one of his earliest roles) his English accent was serviceable but wobbled a lot from scene to scene. Since then he's got a lot better.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: While he hasn't been any particularly bad films, he's definitely had less impressive roles; he played a non-anthropomorphic chicken in ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' and a random redneck in ''Film/{{Deadpool 2}}''. It would have been easy to phone those in, but he says his policy is to give every role his all, and it shows. In ''Film/Deadpool2'' he had about a minute of screentime, a grand total of six lines, and was barely recognizable, but he still managed to be memorable simply because he's clearly paying close attention to his friend's bizarre rant about toilet paper.

* CelebrityResemblance: To [[Film/PhantomOfTheParadise Gerrit]] [[Film/ChildsPlay2 Graham]], due to their beaky and tall appearances (not to mention how Tudyk's default hairstyle resembles Graham's from the mid-1980s to today), their character actor abilities to play disparate comedic and serious roles and being associated with Disney more then once (Graham himself had voice roles in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', had writing credit on the short cartoon ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceAndThePauper'' and had made his early acting debut at age eight in a Detroit Art Institute stage production of ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'', which would later become a well-known Disney-owned franchise).

* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: Invoked when voicing the chicken in ''Disney/{{Moana}}'' as he jokes, in between doing the sounds, about the fact that he went to Julliard.

** His Disney roles alone show he has an impressive vocal range, from King Candy, who sounds like Ed Wynn's [[Disney/AliceInWonderland Mad Hatter]], to the Duke of Weselton, who sounds like a British Creator/SteveBuscemi impression. He's even voiced a chicken.

** At least in terms of his Disney roles, where he tends to play older, slimy, petty villains. This trend continues with his casting in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' as [[WickedWeasel Duke Weaselton]]. [[PlayingAgainstType Averted]] in ''Disney/{{Moana}}'', where he voices the animal sidekick.

* PlayingAgainstType: On the other hand, he provides the voice of Heihei the Chicken from ''Disney/{{Moana}}'', who is the film's PluckyComicRelief animal sidekick.

* FakeBrit: His English accent in ''Film/DeathAtAFuneral'' is very convincing.
** OohMeAccentsSlipping: Though it does momentarily vanish at “Eight hours of this?!”

* ManOfAThousandVoices: His Disney roles alone show he has an impressive vocal range, from King Candy, who sounds like Ed Wynn's [[Disney/AliceInWonderland Mad Hatter]], to the Duke of Weselton, who sounds like a British Creator/SteveBuscemi impression. He's even voiced a chicken.
