I love everything about this show, especially the actors and the writers. It&#8217;s been great to speak with them the last few years. Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t get an opportunity to speak with Alan Tudyk this time, but it&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;ve spoken to him several times before.\u00a0 All of the actors are very kind and enjoy talking about their characters and the show. I know you&#8217;ll enjoy this upcoming season 3 as much as I have, and these videos.
