Syfy’s new sci-fi dramedy, Resident Alien, is the fun, quirky new series that showcases actor Alan Tudyk at his very best.
Not since E.T., Mork & Mindy, and even the TV yesteryear hit, My Favorite Martian starring Ray Walston as “Uncle Martin,” has an Earthbound alien on a mission captured our attention.
Resident Alien is based on the Dark Horse comic series by Peter Hogan and artist Steve Parkhouse and follows Harry (Alan Tudyk), disguised as a doctor, replacing the one that died under mysterious circumstances.
Resident Alien follows the story of a stranded space alien (Alan Tudyk) who poses as a small-town doctor in Patience, Colorado. Taking on the identity of Harry Vanderspeigle a vacationing physician whom his characters murders and assumes his identity this new Harry/Alien Tudyk, is tasked with helping the nearby townsfolk, as he’s the only physician standby. Having no choice but to try and maintain this false identity while secretly searching for pieces of his wrecked ship to rebuild and return home. What results is the budding of a procedural science fiction drama thatâs equally silly as it is serious, as Harry holds a pretty dark secret.Â
Produced by Amblin Television, SYFY s
Resident Alien puts a clever twist on the famous Elliot-E.T. dynamic that Steven Spielberg (founder of Amblin) established in his 1982 sci-fi classic,
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The only person in the small town of Patience, Colorado, who can see Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle s (Alan Tudyk) true alien form through his human disguise is young Max (Judah Prehn). But instead of forming a poignant bond with the cosmic visitor, the boy is scared out of his wits. Not only that, but the two characters form a hilarious rivalry as Max attempts to convince his parents of the truth, to no avail.
