  • Alan Tudyk stars as late baseball manager Ben Chapman in the new Jackie Robinson biopic 42, which took the top spot at the box office over the weekend. The actor is best known for his comedic work, so when he stopped by our LA studios recently, he told us portraying the well-documented racist was outside his comfort zone in more ways than one. He also spoke to us about his role on Suburgatory and hinted that his character, Noah, will have a chance to get revenge on the man who stole his girlfriend in an upcoming episode. Watch our interview to see what else Alan had to say about working alongside Harrison Ford and why Jackie's story should make Americans proud.

    I have been so used to seeing Alan Tudyk playing funny and likable characters (Wash, Wot, Steve the Pirate, even King Candy was a fun character to watch), to see him playing such a truly repulsive man in '42' was really surprising for me.

    for me it was maybe the strongest moment of the movie. I felt deeply for Jackie in that moment. Other eye opening moment was when whole team was refused accesss to the hotel bc of JR. In that moment they were experiencing a tiny tiny glimpse of JR's world, yet didn't seem to embrace the lesson of that moment at all.

Unfortunately these labels become ingrained and it takes one in a whole generation to face it head on and become an example of something different. RIP to your great uncle, RIP to Jackie. We're all better for these stories which we aspire to remember not repeat.

    Obviously for any actor or actress in this modern era, it's an incredibly tough and emotionally draining job to play a racist character. I can't think of anyone who enjoy it, because it was such a tumultuous time in history. I would hate having to play a character that the entire world was going to hate.

    He did such of good job, that I hated him. You know an actor has done a good job, that you think about his role. Like not a character, you know if the did well when you think about the role days after. You have to separate the artist from the art.
