These days, Alan Tudik is known as one of the most diverse and fertile voices and actors to attract performance from his generation. From the pronounced characters in almost every Disney animated film to Playing K-2 in "Rogue One: A Star Wars" and "Andor", It is made a very impressive biography. He even expressed Igogo in Disney's Aladdin masterpiece, with his other recent roles, including Netflix's "Electrical Status", DC's "Creature Commandos" (as a fan-fashioned character Doctor Phosphorus) and dozens of other TV series.

However, in the early 2000s, Tudik was better known for his live roles, usually of a comical nature. If you are of a particular generation, you probably know him as the Wisecracking pilot, Hoban Washburn on "Firefly" or as Steve Pirat in "Dogbol: True Story of Hards". But while he was building a reputation for a comedy in Hollywood, he also took on a different role in 2004 A Smith -led science movie "I, the robot", making the same kind of robotic performance, he will later deal with the "War of the Starwells" universe. Of course, you may not have known that it was Tudik behind Sony robot, and obviously there is a very specific reason for it.

"They did a test audience with the film and achieved the characters," Tudik explained in an episode of Podcast "Toon'd with Jimim Cummings". "I came back the word," Alan, you test higher than Will Smith. "" With one of Hollywood's biggest stars on the project mark, the response from the studio's side was simple: Cut Tudik out of any major marketing materials, it effectively buried its role.

Be heavy in 2004 to identify a larger movie star from Will Smith. Brad Pitt maybe, or Angelina Ololi, but even they could not completely overcome the Starwear power that Smith performed since the 1990s and early 2000s. It was all good and good for the box office took over his films, but it was obviously not so good for his suits, especially the lesser -known (at the time) as Tudik.

"I wasn't there," Tudik told Cummings, in connection with his role in marketing materials for "I, the robot" after his favorable testing projections. "I was over. There was no publicity and my name was not mentioned." It's no secret that big stars often get this kind of preferential treatment, and to calm the ego and make good to contractual promises. But that doesn't make the situation better. "I was shocked," Tudik admitted. "I was like," no one will know, "and they were like," Mmm.

"I put a lot of that," Tudik told his performance. "At that time, I was very upset."

It is difficult not to be upset on behalf of Tudik, knowing that so many other actors with smaller times have faced similar situations in Hollywood beyond the differences in the Almighty Starweet. However, it is difficult to argue with the career he has built in the last two decades, especially when you think his beloved performance as K-2 may be indirectly influenced by his previous experience in the arrest of robots, playing Sony. Tudik got a lot of credit and a LOVEBOOK from the fans for that latest role, which hopes to softens the original blow, at least a little.

Tudik also became a sincere TV Starvist in the last few years, starring The renowned (and only recently canceled) scientific comedy series "Resident Alien". That role mixed the experience of Tudik both in science fiction and comedy, becoming one of the most successful in his career.

"I, the robot", on the other hand, greatly faded from cultural consciousness, and Smith's starvet was obviously not enough to earn a favorable reception among critics at the time. Reportedly, the adaptation of Isaac Asimov, it is more than the 90s science-fi-luxury than anything else. Bee is your better served A more modern adaptation of Asimov as the "Foundation" of Apple TV+Although Tudik's order like Sony is still strong all these years later.
