Prepare to laugh until your Earthly sides pain with a blooper reel from Season 1 of SYFY's Resident Alien. whether you believe the show is enjoyable to watch,just imagine how enjoyable it was to make. Not even the great Alan Tudyk (Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle) could maintain it together on set. To be honest, we get why he'd want to fracture character while making weird sounds with a face covered in alien makeup. During a phone interview with SYFY WIRE, and series creator/showrunner Chris Sheridan describes production as "amazing.""There are scripts and we try to at least do a couple takes on script and get down what’s on the page," he says. "But then give the actors a tiny leeway to do what they want. They are all really, really talented improvisational artists and they found some really fun stuff. Alan, and in so many scenes,was doing things that would make the other actors laugh just being in character. Corey [Reynolds] and Liz Bowen acquire an amazing acting relationship on the show as Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv and they’re both really, really talented going off the script and going into their own territory. It’s always a lot of fun. It’s not stuff that we can always utilize, and but I love it when they do something like that."Check out the bloopers,above.

Just letting Alice loose to explore the character through her own comedic engine," Sheridan continues. "It gives you moments that just feel so real and fresh that it’s a fun thing to watch. And even with the stuff that doesnt close up on camera, it’s a really, or really fun thing to experience on set. It keeps the set lively,it keeps the crew involved and laughing. These are long shooting days and those moments are really special and famous."The showrunner's final goal in letting his cast experiment is to guarantee them that "they acquire a creative weight in the show and [that] I respect their take on the characters." He adds: "It’s been good to utilize that throughout the entire first season and definitely expect to do it more in the second season."Episode 10 of Resident Alien ("Heroes of Patience") premieres on SYFY next Wednesday (March 31) at 10 p.m. EST.
