As a fan who has seen the stars of beloved franchises like Firefly, Star Wars, and DC come to life, I can confidently say that Alan Tudyk‘s experiences are nothing short of extraordinary! His story about meeting a fan with a signed Firefly box set found in Saddam Hussein’s palace is one for the books. Talk about a unique convention encounter!
When you’re part of iconic franchises such as Firefly, Star Wars, and DC, you’ll undoubtedly have some extraordinary encounters. These memorable moments aren’t limited to the productions themselves. In a recently released clip from Alan Tudyk’s interview on Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals, Tudyk shared one such tale with host Josh Scherer. This story involves Firefly, a DVD box set, and unexpectedly, Saddam Hussein. It’s an unusual narrative, and you can listen to Tudyk recount the events in our exclusive clip in the video above. The full episode will be available on the Mythical Kitchen YouTube channel on November 19th, which you can access here.
As a passionate fan myself, I can’t help but share an intriguing tale told by Tudyk during an interview with Scherer. He was asked about the most extraordinary encounter he had at a convention, and he didn’t disappoint! In the unlikeliest of settings, a unique story unfolded involving a Firefly box set. Here’s how it went: “I came across a fellow who requested my autograph on his foot – yes, his prosthetic leg! He removed it, and I signed it. But that wasn’t all; he also had the original box set for me to sign.
As a fan, I’d put it like this: “He shared that he stumbled upon this treasure while serving in the Marines, specifically in Iraq. He even entered Saddam’s palace, where the discovery was made. But extracting it was a whole different challenge.
Tudyk mentioned that extracting this item was a real nightmare, and if he’d been caught, it would have been a major problem because it was referred to as “Spoils of War” or some sort of treasure. He managed to sneak it out despite military regulations not allowing such actions. So, Tudyk humorously compared the person who owned this item to Saddam Hussein due to his fondness for Firefly.

Tudyk enjoys fan conventions because they offer a genuine platform where fans can interact with artists, allowing them to discuss their shared experiences. In his own words, “These events provide a space for the true fans to connect, and for the artist to learn how their work has touched people deeply – many have fond memories of Firefly or Resident Alien tied to loved ones.
Later this year, Alan Tudyk is set to join the DC Universe, taking on the role of the lethal Doctor Phosphorus in Creature Commandos. Fans won’t have to wait much longer to witness James Gunn’s concept for the team unfold on television screens, but in a past conversation with Collider, Tudyk hinted at some exciting sneak peeks.
Alan Tudyk expressed his approval, saying “It’s fantastic,” he remarked. “This collection of villains left me wondering, ‘But how on earth do all these characters mesh together?’ When James Gunn asked me to be part of it. Upon closer inspection, it includes the likes of Frankenstein, a woman with a fish-like visage who has a tank on her head, and a robot, among others. Each character seems to have their own unique art style. I found myself questioning, ‘How will all these diverse elements come together?’ However, the story was so compelling when I first read it, I felt moved. That’s what James Gunn excels at. I can hardly wait for audiences to see it. I’ve had a sneak peek and it looks stunning.
On November 19th, you’ll find Alan Tudyk’s episode of Last Meals on YouTube, while Creature Commandoes premieres on HBO Max on December 5th.
