HOW TO HAVE THE BEST SUNDAY IN L.A..ACCORDING TO ALAN TUDYK

EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT SURE you've seen Alan Tudyk in the numerous films or TV shows he's appeared in, you've definitely heard him. Tudyk has been endearing audiences with his vocal stylings ever since 2002's "Ice Age"-he voiced characters like the Duke of Weselton in "Frozen," Heihei the rooster in "Moana" and King Candy in "WreckIt Ralph." Still, many fans know Tudyk best for his sci-fi and genre roles, including his four-season run as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle of Syfy's "Resident Alien," which came to an end in early August. "It's a tough goodbye," says Tudyk. "Fingers crossed for the reboot 'Resident Alien versus Predator." "In the meantime, you can catch him as Gary in 2025's "Superman" and as K-2SO in "Andor," for which he recently netted an Emmy nomination, as you await the handful of upcoming live-action and voiceover projects Tudyk has in the works. We caught up with the busy actor to discuss his perfect L.A. day, which would involve, first things first, coffee. "I have to say that the last thing that Charissa [Barton, his wife] and I are thinking of when we go to sleep is, 'I can't wait to have more coffee tomorrow,' " he admits. "It's such a beautiful promise for a new day." Also vital on any great Sunday is time with Charissa and their dogs, Raisin and Clara, a lot of delicious gluten-free food, shopping, writing time and a car nap. And then there's their crucial tradition: a music listening session leading up to a very important decision. "I choose a summer song every year," he said. "It's down to the final. There've been songs that come and go all summer long that are potential songs. We choose the summer song, and to celebrate, we go eat some more." This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
