[edit] Film and television
Tudyk is best known for his role as Hoban "Wash" Washburne in the cult science fiction/western television series Firefly and as "Steve the Pirate" in the 2004 comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story; he reprised the role of Wash in the feature film Serenity. Tudyk also played a gay German drug addict in the film 28 Days, the emotional robot Sonny in I, Robot and, in a recent episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, a convicted pedophile.
According to Tudyk's IMDb biography, upon hearing that Firefly was cancelled, Tudyk threw a "We Don't Work for FOX Anymore" party for the cast and crew of the show. This was confirmed in the audio commentary of the Firefly series DVD.
