Star Wars: Rogue actor Alan Tudyk was originally offered a role in the upcoming Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End; however, a number of script changes that were made seem to have made him uncomfortable, resulting in his departure. Tudyk has not yet clarified whether he resigned or whether he was let go.
“I worked on Uncharted, the one that has yet to come out – I was doing a role on that,” Tudyk told IGN. “Really, I hadn’t seen [Nolan] since he and I had recorded years before.
“I liked it… they… ummm… they fired… ummm… [lets out a massive sigh] I left, I quit! [laughs] So, I didn’t like it. I mean, I left because they decided to go a different way with it and so when they did that, when they changed leadership, it made my contract null and void and I was able to take that opportunity to walk away which was great because I got the experience of doing it, I made some friends – not with Naughty Dog – but I made some friends with the people that left.
“Todd Stashwick was in that as well who is in Con Man and he did the same thing I did which was ‘yeah we’re gonna leave now. Y’all are making some weird changes, we’re gonna leave’. Sorry Nolan, we left you, we just walked away, we abandoned him.”
If Tudyk had been in Uncharted 4, it would have been his second project opposite Nathan Drake voice actor Nolan North- the two also co-star in the upcoming series Con Men.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End launches exclusively for the PS4 next year.
