Alan Tudyk to Reprise Clayface Role in DCU’s ‘Creature Commandos’ and Reflects on Heath Ledger’s Kindness

Actor Alan Tudyk is set to reprise his role as the villainous Clayface in the upcoming DCU project, ‘Creature Commandos‘. Tudyk, known for his versatile voice acting, previously portrayed Clayface in the animated series ‘Harley Quinn‘. In ‘Creature Commandos’, he will play a new, more sinister version of the character described as “a killer” and “a homicidal maniac”.

Tudyk’s involvement in ‘Creature Commandos’ is part of a broader strategy by DC Studios under James Gunn, where actors who voice characters in animated projects may also play those roles in live-action. However, it remains unclear if Tudyk will portray Clayface in any upcoming live-action films, given the potential extensive use of CGI for the character.

In addition to his work with DC Studios, Tudyk recently appeared on the latest episode of Mythical Kitchen’s ‘Last Meals‘ series. During the episode, he shared a heartfelt story about how his late co-star Heath Ledger helped him cope with the sudden death of a friend during the filming of ‘A Knight's Tale‘ in 2000. Ledger, who was dating Heather Graham at the time, provided emotional support to Tudyk, helping him through a difficult period.

Tudyk’s reflections on Ledger’s kindness highlight the strong bond between the actors and the significant impact Ledger had on those around him. This story adds a personal dimension to Tudyk’s career, showcasing the supportive relationships within the film industry.
