RESIDENT ALIEN: Creator Chris Sheridan and cast Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko talk Season 2 – Interview

RESIDENT ALIEN is now in its second season, Wednesday nights on Syfy. Based on the the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse and adapted for television by Chris Sheridan, RESIDENT ALIEN stars Alan Tudyk as the title character, who crash-landed on Earth. Able to make himself look human, the alien has assumed the identity of Colorado small-town veterinarian-turned-doctor Harry Vanderspeigle. Although completely confused by human behavior, Harry finds that he actually likes the townspeople. This may be a problem, since he’s been sent here to wipe out humanity.

Resident Alien's Alan Tudyk Pitches His Wash/Harry Crossover

As unbelievable as it seems, fans are already in the back half of Resident Alien's second season. The series, which stars Firefly and Doom Patrol actor Alan Tudyk as an alien who crash-landed on Earth and is impersonating a human while planning an invasion of the planet, airs Wednesdays on Syfy, and Tudyk is clearly in his element. Playing Harry gives him a chance to do lots of comedy, but with a little pathos, and to play a villainous character that the viewers can't really bring themselves to hate. It's a bit of everything for an actor.

Resident Alien Season 2: Alan Tudyk on His Human “Infection”

It is a safe assumption that anyone with even a casual awareness of popular culture knows an Alan Tudyk performance. For science fiction fans, Tudyk may be Wash from Firefly, or K-2SO from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. For fans of comic-book-based shows, he’s Joker and Clayface on Harley Quinn, or Mr. Nobody on Doom Patrol. Disney fans have their pick of comedic villains (from Wreck-It Ralph, or Frozen), and animal sidekicks (Moana, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto). From comedies (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil, Death at a Funeral) to drama (42, Trumbo) to dramedy (Patch Adams, 28 Days), Tudyk has one of the most recognizable and interesting careers in showbusiness.

How Alan Tudyk Helped Create The Peacemaker Dance Sequence [Exclusive]

Did you really think we were done talking about how ridiculously awesome the opening credits for "Peacemaker" are? THINK AGAIN! We, like pretty much everyone else in the world, can't get enough of the moving and shaking of James Gunn's "Peacemaker," finally giving fans in the streaming era an excuse to not hit the "Skip Intro" button on HBO Max. We're so obsessed that we recently sat down to interview the remarkable Charissa Barton, who choreographed the opening number, and y'all are not going to want to miss the deep insider knowledge she was able to provide regarding the dance number's origins, execution, and production. Charissa Barton is a decorated dancer and choreographer (the woman went to The Juilliard School!) and she's also married to one of the most universally beloved genre actors in the biz, Alan Tudyk.

Peacemaker BTS Video Likens Opening Credits to 'Claymation in Human Form' — Plus, How Did Alan Tudyk Help?

Do ya really wanna bigger taste of Peacemaker‘s incredibly rewatchable opening credits? HBO Max has released a “making of” video (watch above), in which series creator/director James Gunn, choreographer Charissa Barton and several cast members provide commentary and BTS anecdotes over rehearsal footage of the 90-second song-and-dance sequence. Barging into each episode with the first yelps of “Do Ya Wanna Taste It” (by the glam metal band Wig Wam), the opening credits, which were filmed over one day in a high school auditorium, start off with John Cena’s antihero joined by Freddie Stroma’s Vigilante and and Danielle Brooks’ Adebayo.

Thomas Harris fans were no doubt bummed when CBS could not come to an amicable agreement with MGM to shift their series "Clarice" over to Paramount+ for season 2, thus sadly ending the show after it had already been renewed. Luckily those fans can now pick up CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment's DVD of the first season, including exclusive deleted scenes, a gag reel, and behind-the-scenes featurettes including the one we have an extended two-minute clip from. In this exclusive clip staff writer Celena Cepriaso and co-executive producer Kenneth Lin discuss Clarice (Rebecca Breeds), her internal battles, and her search for answers through unconventional therapy.
