Transcript below the cut:
Fan: "Hi"
Alan: "Hello"
Fan: "So, you do so many shows, animated and real life,"
Alan: Right, right
Fan: "What's your favorite animated character and then your favorite live action character you've done?"
Alan: "My favorite animated character is King Candy, because he was such a good character. He starts out friendly you think, he's very nice and he, ya know, he throws candy at you. And uh... you kinda get that he's a bad guy but you don't know how bad until about halfway through the movie and then he's-- he's Turbo, and he's the worst thing ever, and then he turns into a bug and becomes even worse. He tries to beat a cute little girl with candy stuck in her hair with a car antenna. And then-- and then he wants to kill 'em all, he's the worst. Oh, I love it. Uh, so he's great, um, and he kinda does an Ed Wynn voice [unintelligible King Candy noises] um, and that was my first role for Disney so it really kinda started my whole relationship with them."
Alan: "Uh, and then, I have... I like Wash, because Wash in Serenity-- er I mean Firefly, he... he's the closest character to me. Ya know, I play so many different roles that are very, very different, which is great and fun, but I rarely get to play characters like myself, and that was, especially back then, a smartass. Uh, just a guy-- I mean I didn't fly spaceships, I'll say that. But other than that, um, ya know just wants to-- everybody else will be like "let's-- we can shoot 'em this way or we can blow 'em up this way, we can do this", and I'll be like "why don't we run?" I mean, it seems like a good option, no one has to die, and we leave. How about that? Let's just leave. Yeah, run. And that seems to be my choice."
