2) Who was once fired from a fry cook opportunity?
3) Who has a wife that is fully capable of killing him with her pinky?
Yes, it’s Serenity’s own pilot, Hoban Washburne … or rather, his real-life portrayer, actor Alan Tudyk, who has graced one of our infamous Terrify’n Space Monkeys with his signature. Kids Need to Read Charity Auctions proudly presents this 15″ plush primate, wearing a blue shirt with “Terrify’n Space Monkey” hand painted on the front, along with a Kids Need to Read mini-button. Not only has Alan signed this space-faring simian’s shirt, but he also handwrote, “I’m a leaf on the wind” around its collar!
