Sonny ... The coolest robot on the planet, bar none. Played by Alan Tudyk, who so far has played a medieval peasant, a gay sex addict, an intergalatic pilot, a dodgeball-playing pirate, and now a robot. It's entirely possible he puts weird character descriptions in a hat and picks his roles that way.

His stage work, too. 30-odd characters in a play about Gilda Radner, Adam (of Adam and Steve), a bad actor in a Biblical epic, a guy whose wife leaves him because of hsi fetish for swallowing and passing Barbie heads.
