Alan Todic was removed from I, Android marketing campaign for a brutal reason

These days, Alan Tudyk is known as one of the most diverse vocal actors and a lot of performance in his generation. From expressing characters in the modern Disney movie, to a large extent Play K-2SO in “Rogue One: A Star Wars” and “Andor”, He designed an impressive CV. He even expressed Iag in the edition of “Aladdin” from Disney, through his last recent roles, including turns in “The Electric State” and “ComMandos” from DC (such as Doctor Phosphora, the favorite of fans), and dozens of other TV series and broadcasts.

In the early first decade of the twentieth century, Tedic was known for his living roles, usually of a comic nature. If you are of a specific generation, you will likely know it as a Hoban Washburne on “Firefly” or Steve the Pirate in “DodgeBall: a real hidden story”. But while he was building a reputation in the comedy in Hollywood, he also played a different role in 2004 The science fiction movie led by Will Smith “I, Robot”, the same kind of automatic performance capture that was later treated in the “Star Wars” world. Of course, you might not know that Tudyk is behind Sonny The Robot at all, and it seems that there is a very specific reason for that.

“They were testing fans with the film, and they were recording the characters,” Todic explained in an episode of “Toon’d in With Jim Cumms” podcast. “You prepared for the word,” Alan, you are testing higher than Will Smith. “With one of the largest Hollywood stars on the project’s marquee, the answer by the studio was simple: cutting Tedic from any major marketing materials, and buried its role effectively.

It will be subjected to severe pressure in 2004 to determine a larger movie star than Will Smith. Perhaps Brad Pitt, or Angelina Jolie, but even they were unable to overcome the stellar force carried out by Smith from the nineties to the early first decade of the twentieth century. All this was good and good for box office takes his films, but it was clear that it was not good for eating it, especially the least well -known people (at that time) like Tudyk.

“I have gone”, regarding its role in the marketing materials of “I, Robot” in the wake of his favorable test offers. “I have finished. There was no advertisement, and my name was not mentioned.” It is no secret that the big stars often get this type of preferential treatment, whether to calm vanity and reach contractual promises. But this does not make the situation better. “I was shocked,” Todic confessed. “I was like,” no one knows “, and they were like,” mhm “.

Todic said about his performance: “I have put a lot in it.” “At that time, I was very upset.”

It is difficult not to be upset on behalf of Tudyk, knowing that many younger actors at the younger time have faced similar positions in Hollywood out of respect for the strong star. However, it is also difficult to argue with the profession that has been built over the past two decades, especially when you think that his beloved performance like K-2SO has indirectly affected his previous experience in the performance of the robot that plays Sonny. Tudyk got a lot of credit and love from the fans of this last role, which we hope will reduce the original strike, at least slightly.

Tudyk has also become a good -intentioned TV star over the past few years, as he starred in The famous science fiction comedy series (recently canceled) “Resident”. This role mixed the experience of Todic in both science fiction and comedy, becoming one of his most successful career.

“I, a robot”, on the other hand, has faded to a large extent of cultural awareness, and it seems that the power of the Smith star was not sufficient to win a positive reception between critics at that time as well. Isaac Asimov’s air conditioner is supposed to be more than the science fiction lax after the nineties more than anything else. It is better to serve with you More modern air conditioning like “Basis” on Apple TV+Despite the role of Tudyk as Sonny is still strong throughout these years.
