2 Last name is pronounced "too-dick".
3 Playing the lead in "Prelude To A Kiss" on Broadway. [February 2007]
4 ended role of Lancelot on Broadway's production of Spamalot. [December 2005]
5 Now playing Lancelot on Broadway in Spamalot. [July 2005]
6 Has been cast in the Broadway production of Monty Python's Spamalot. He replaces Hank Azaria who is leaving in early June to film a second season of his Showtime television series Huff!. [May 2005]
7 He is of Polish ancestry on his father's side, and of English, German, Scottish, French, and Dutch ancestry on his mother's side.
8 Has two female dogs, Raisin and Clara.
9 Auditioned for the role of Michael on The Office (2005).
10 Has a star tattoo on his back, which can be seen in Conception (2011) and Meet Market (2004).
11 In 1984, he performed in the Haggard Middle School (Plano, Texas) play Aesop's Fables as the Fox and won UIL regional best duet acting with, now internationally famous musician, Karl Poetschke. They performed excerpts from Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple". Alan played Felix.
12 In the commentary for both A Knight's Tale (2001) and Knocked Up (2007) the directors mention having to give Alan the role due to his improvisation in the audition, His "your entrails will become your extrails" in A Knight's Tale and his whole "Tighter" bit in Knocked Up.
13 As a nod to his character in Firefly (2002) and Serenity (2005), Alan can be heard in Halo 3 swearing in Chinese, quickly followed by "I wish I was someone else right now!".
14 Smokey and the Bandit (1977) is his favorite movie.
15 Alan filled in for Hank Azaria in the Broadway show "Spamalot" while the latter was filming the second season of Huff (2004) and working on the 17th season of The Simpsons (1989). Actress Sara Ramirez, another performer in the production at this time, was in Alan's class (Group 26) at Juilliard.
16 While in college, Alan was active in the Delta Psi Omega fraternity.
17 In the Firefly episode "Out of Gas" (1x05) Wash wires up a large, red button for the captain to press if he needs the crew to return to the ship. When he shows it to Mal he says, "When your miracle gets here, just hit this button." When Alan left the Firefly (2002) set after the series was canceled, he took that button as a keepsake. When Joss Whedon announced that he would be searching for a way to bring the show back as either a series or a feature film, Alan sent him the button with a note that said, again, "When your miracle gets here, just hit this button.".
18 According to the "War Stories" (1x09) episode commentary, when he couldn't remember the Chinese dialogue for Firefly (2002), he would just make it up and hope no one noticed.
19 To prepare for the role of Steve the Pirate in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), he joined a group of pirate role players called the Rumrunners and spent a week at Pirate Camp.
20 In preparing for the role of Sonny in the film I, Robot (2004), he studied dance, movement, and mime to accurately portray movement that was programmed in. His work was captured with motion-capture technology.
21 According to the rest of the Firefly (2002) cast, he was consistently the worst speaker of Chinese on the show. He attributes this to having to learn long and complicated phrases such as "Mother of God and all her wacky nephews" in Mandarin.
22 Didn't go to his senior prom because the girl he was planning to take two-timed him with another guy and got pregnant.
23 Threw a we-don't-work-for-Fox-anymore party for the cast and crew of the short-lived TV series Firefly (2002) after he heard that it was canceled.
24 Alan's most prized possession was a 1964 Mustang, which he named Old Sock.

#Quote
1 In high school I wanted to be a hotel manager. If you're an actor, you don't have any money and I wanted to have a wife and children. Now I'm an actor with money but I still don't have a wife and children!
2 There aren't too many new actors like Alan Arkin or Gene Hackman who exist on their own frequency, do things in a way that nobody else could get away with. Those are the people who are inspirational to me.
3 I was a real ham as a child. I'd insist on dressing up as a cowboy whenever the family went out for dinner. In high school, I was a menace. I'd fake nose bleeds and fainting spells to panic my teachers.
