      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!

    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 hope your friend who wanted to dance was able to find happiness, too

    • @brianeleighton
      @brianeleighton 20 часов назад

      ​@@pampire13 I think it is because for most historical films any anachronisms are essentially because of the laziness of the filmmakers. On the DVD the Director in the commentary made the point that the anachronisms in A Knight's Tale actually serve an artistic purpose. The best example is the banquet scene where they are learning the dance. Medieval music to our modern ears sounds somewhat simple and, for lack of a better term, sedate. To medieval ears that music was "modern music". So the dance scene starts with pure medieval music and over the course of the dance David Bowie is slowly mixed in to the music. By the end of the scene they are dancing to David Bowie at full levels.

    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.
