A Knight's Tale is the greatest movie ever made

I wonder how that gig pitch meeting went from his agent.

Alan Tyduk: "What's my character's motivation?"

I was thinking more of King Kandy from Wreck It Ralph -- but your post just builds upon the legend.

I think he won some awards for Wreck It Ralph. I just think the Hei Hei thing is hilarious. I remember watching one of the making of features for Moana and seeing him clucking into a mic and cracking up, so it always stuck in my head that he was Hei Hei.

It was kind of a college / film school [first one] shoot, right?

I’m not sure, but it would explain a lot.

I’m not sure, but it would explain a lot.

What I've heard anecdotally:

• Raimi shot all or part of Evil Dead as a film school project, super low budget. Bruce Campbell was his buddy from college, and that was his first "official" acting role
• Obviously, the first one was a straight horror film, but super low budget / relatively poor quality due to the above
• Raimi got the idea to remake the movie frame-by-frame, but making it a pseudo-comedy / horror movie instead, so they remade the movie -- which is Evil Dead 2, which basically "replaces" the first movie
• Evil Dead 2 was also low budget, but is a cult classic because of the innovative horror / comedy approach, and also because it highlighted Bruce Campbell's unique acting style -- catapulting him to C-list stardom
• The sequels were pretty lame, but the Starz series based upon Evil Dead from a few years ago went three seasons, and was pretty entertaining

Of course, some of the above could be wrong, but that's what I know about the franchise.

All of that sounds vaguely familiar. Especially the last bullet. I literally remember nothing about Army of Darkness.

Great movie. Also, the woman who plays Kate, the female blacksmith,is Lydia from breaking bad. Heath Ledger left us way too soon

“catapulting him to C-list stardom”

Your word choice was truly excellent.

I believe she prefers to just be called a blacksmith.

Perhaps none greater than his work as Hei Hei the Rooster in Moana.

My two year old is obsessed with Moana right now, Hei Hei is practically a member of the family. That guy is quite a talent.

CLASSIC film! “Good...bad...I’m the guy with the gun”.

His movies were fun. I can't ask more than that. Encino Man, The Mummy series, Blast From the Past, George of the Jungle... all easy watches.

the quiet american was a high quality film and he was very good in it

Tudyk has also done some pretty amazing stuff as a voice actor.

How is his last name pronounced again?

Wasn't he in the original Death at a Funeral? Because it'd be tough to top that performance.
