One more of the Serenity crew returns to television. We’ve got Nathan Fillion on Castle, Adam Baldwin on Chuck, Morena Baccarin on V and Homeland, Gina Torres on Suits, and Alan Tudyk as a series regular on ABC’s new comedy Suburgatory. He’ll play Noah Lerner, an old friend of George (Jeremy Sisto) who moves his daughter to the suburbs to take her away from bad influences. Hilarity ensues.
But there is much more to Alan Tudyk than one new show. He has a movie coming out this fall. Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil hits VOD on August 26 and theaters September 30, after years of playing the festival circuit. Tudyk plays Tucker, one of two innocent woodsmen mistaken for a chainsaw killer. He’ll also be seen in the upcoming movie adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and has voiced several characters in MTV’s animated show Good Vibes.
5 THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: Tea, sexy panties, a phone to call home on, keys to a house, and you (you know who you are).
I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: Exploring and going on crazy, wild adventures. I love to leave the house with no particular destination in mind and figure it out along the way!
Did you miss me last week? No? Didn’t notice at all, huh. Well, fuck you. I’m back.

1. Making Fun of President Barack Obama
I found about these comics on What Things Do from someone on Facebook who was talking to Tom Neely, who’s excellent The Wolf is now available and worth your money. Anyway, sorry guy-who’s-name-I-can’t-remember, you should get credit for finding these gems. The overall premise of making President Barack Obama wondering-mind leader like George W. Bush is strong, but I found only a few of the comics to be hilarious. Here they are:

Our Fiction Friday serialized novel, The Killswitch Review, is a futuristic murder mystery with killer sociopolitical commentary (and some of the best sex scenes we’ve ever read!). Written by bestselling sci-fi author Steven-Elliot Altman (with Diane DeKelb-Rittenhouse), it offers a terrifying postmodern vision in the tradition of Blade Runner and Brave New World…
By the year 2156, stem cell therapy has triumphed over aging and disease, extending the human lifespan indefinitely. But only for those who have achieved Conscientious Citizen Status. To combat overpopulation, the U.S. has sealed its borders, instituted compulsory contraception and a strict one child per couple policy for those who are permitted to breed, and made technology-assisted suicide readily available. But in a world where the old can remain vital forever, America’s youth have little hope of prosperity.
Jason Haggerty is an investigator for Black Buttons Inc, the government agency responsible for dispensing personal handheld Kevorkian devices, which afford the only legal form of suicide. An armed “Killswitch” monitors and records a citizen’s final moments — up to the point where they press a button and peacefully die. Post-press review agents — “button collectors” — are dispatched to review and judge these final recordings to rule out foul play.
When three teens stage an illegal public suicide, Haggerty suspects their deaths may have been murders. Now his race is on to uncover proof and prevent a nationwide epidemic of copycat suicides. Trouble is, for the first time in history, an entire generation might just decide they’re better off dead.
(Catch up with the previous installments of Killswitch – see parts ONE, TWO, and THREE – then continue reading after the jump…)
