Los Angeles – Actor Alan Tudyk, known for his extensive work in voice acting and live-action roles, is preparing for an emotional farewell as the series finale of his popular show Resident Alien airs soon. Tudyk, who has already built a reputation in the sci-fi genre, has expressed a lighthearted wish for a reboot of the series titled “Resident Alien versus Predator.” His upcoming projects include a role in the 2025 superhero film Superman and reprising his character K-2SO in the anticipated series Andor, for which he has received an Emmy nomination.
As he reflects on his work and prepares for new challenges, Tudyk has shared insights into his ideal Sunday routine in Los Angeles, which he enjoys with his wife, Charissa Barton. The couple places a high value on their weekends, which typically kick off with a run in the Hollywood Hills with their dogs, Raisin, a senior terrier mix, and Clara, a playful cockapoo.
Following their morning exercise, the couple heads to Honey Hi, a resort that specializes in gluten-free foods, where they indulge in a hearty breakfast comprising a community bowl and pancakes. They usually share one and a half meals, demonstrating their enjoyment of each other’s company and food.
Continuing their leisurely Sunday, Tudyk and Barton make a stop at Wacko on Sunset Boulevard. This eclectic store is renowned for its unique collectibles, books, and an accompanying local art gallery that adds to their shopping experience.
To recharge from their day of exploring, they take a brief 15-minute car nap parked nearby. Afterward, they enjoy their second cup of coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee, complemented by gluten-free bagels sourced from a nearby food truck.
Dedication to their creative pursuits follows, with Tudyk spending an hour writing while his wife reads. This productive routine serves as a perfect balance to their relaxing day.
The couple then heads to Crossroads on Melrose for lunch, where they relish delicious burgers resembling classic double cheeseburgers, accompanied by fries and a kale Caesar salad. Their culinary adventure continues with coffee number three, leading them to Dover Street Market, a chic clothing store famous for its diverse range of styles catering to hip and skate culture enthusiasts.
A sweet treat awaits them at Rose Bakery, located at the back of the store, where they indulge in gluten-free strawberry cake while deliberating their annual “Song of the Summer.” Their choice for this year is “Chaperone” by Mermaid Chunky, selected for its representation of the year’s chaotic ambiance.
As the day wanes, Tudyk and Barton head to Manuela for dinner, where Tudyk enjoys a standout dish of pork chop paired with fresh peaches, while Charissa opts for a flavorful fish dish alongside white wine. To wrap up their memorable day, they stop at Alcove Cafe and Bakery before returning home, sampling what Tudyk claims to be the best gluten-free carrot cake.
Finally, the couple ends their Sunday by unwinding in bed, catching up on the day’s events while enjoying cake and watching Stephen Colbert. This routine not only highlights their shared interests but also serves as a dose of comfort before embarking on another week.
