It’s interesting to watch the migration of genre actors from one geek show to the next geek show. It’s almost like there’s a temp agency in Burbank, CA, that specializes in transitioning our favorite scifi actors. For example:
Hoban “Wash” Washburne (Firefly) begat Dale Maddox (V)
Inara Serra (Firefly) begat Anna (V)
Charlie Pace (Lost) begat Simon (Flashforward)
Penelope Widmore (Lost) begat Dr. Olivia Benford (Flashforward)
Juliet Burke (Lost) begat Erica Evans (V)
Am I missing anyone?
I have to admit that it’s fun watching Tudyk and Baccarin in the same show again (though in wildly different roles). Honestely though, I’m generally happier when I see Baccarin in any form or fashion . Hubba, hubba!
Now, if you want to see Tudyk at his comedic best, then check out Death at a Funeral. Though it has an American director (Frank Oz), I would still consider Death at a Funeral to be a British comedy. Tudyk steals almost every scene he’s in. If you don’t believe me, then the picture below should add some weight to my claim.
