Interview: Alan Tudyk on Relationships, Food, and Saving the Planet in Season Three of ‘Resident Alien’

Resident Alien is an inventive sci-fi comedy about an alien who comes to Earth to kill the entire population but very slowly develops an affinity for certain humans. Alan Tudyk has the title role as the alien wearing the face of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, whose main focus in season three, aside from getting to eat as much as he possibly can, is to help stop an invasion from a much deadlier alien race with the help of a few loyal friends.

Awards Buzz spoke with Tudyk about getting to navigate some of season three’s more fun plotlines, including a romance with Edi Patterson’s bird lady. Watch the video above to hear about his interactions with his castmates and the public now that the show has seen an increase in visibility from its Netflix debut.

Alan Tudyk is eligible for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at this year’s Emmy Awards. Seasons three of Resident Alien is available to stream on Peacock, while the first two seasons can also be found on Netflix.
