      Sadly, that could be said of the Fox network, too.
      _Many_ a good show aired on Fox, which got the axe, all because of poorly accumulated viewer metrics (curse you, Neilson Ratings!) that I don't feel ever properly conveyed actual viewer numbers.
      I guess that's one other positive to the streaming era... cold, hard, indisputable numbers. So let there NEVER be another _Firefly_ type situation, *ever* again!

      In addition to that a lot of those voices are so different from each other, they don't even sound like him most of the time. Unless I know that it's him doing a characters voice beforehand I usually don't even realize it was him until I'm watching the credits.

    I hope that the teacher that convinced him to stay in acting knows just how much of an impact they had. Alan Tudyk is one of, if not the, most talented actors I know. Who else can go from voicing a chicken to voicing the Joker and have it sound completely different? Most actors use their voice as a kind of calling card, kind of like Keith David, or David Spade. You may not be a main character in movies, but you’re a main character in our hearts, Alan.

    I never realized that Alan did so many voice overs. No mater what I have seen him in, I have thoroughly enjoyed every role. No mater how good (or bad) the show/movie was, he has made at least his part of it better. The list of actors that you can say that about is extremely small. Alan truly does not get the industry recognition that he deserves.
