When cult sci-fi TV show
Firefly was canceled more than a decade ago, actor
Alan Tudyk could have become a tragi-comic figure, increasingly in the shadow of his former costar
Nathan Fillion. Instead Tudyk appeared in a slew of films and TV shows and then, earlier this year, launched a
hugely successful Indiegogo campaign for a Web series called
Con Man. In the show, Tudyk plays an actor from a canceled cult sci-f show who becomes a tragi-comic figure, increasingly in the shadow of his more successful former costar (portrayed by Nathan Fillion!!!).
Here is the crowd funding video. It was quite entertaining as well.
