Alan Tudyk voices King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph

Alan Tudyk provided the voice of King Candy in the Disney animated film, the character best known for his features as a white-skinned old man with a bald head and gray hair tufts and eyebrows. He's the main antagonist in the movie, who proclaimed himself the ruler of the kart-racing video game called Sugar Rush.

Tudyk mentioned in IMDb's October 7, 2022 episode of The Roles That Changed My Life that bringing King Candy's role to life in Wreck-It Ralph was a life-changing experience for him. He said:

"It was the first one I did for Disney 10 years ago... King Candy. I just love the movie, and he was such a nice guy in the beginning. But then he turns out to be completely awful. And he turned into a bug."

Talking about the character he helped bring to life on the big screen, he said:

"At one point, he was trying to kill a little girl with candy... in her hair with a car antenna. I mean, he went from, like, 'Hello!' and he's got confetti, and he's whatever. It's good times. And then, the next thing you know, he was trying to beat her with a car antenna."

He further stated about his Wreck-It Ralph character as King Candy:

"He is villain, villain."

Besides King Candy, Alan Tudyk has also voiced the characters of Optimus Prime in Transformers: Earthspark and Chatsberry in Adventure Time. He's also a mainstay in many Disney animations as a voice actor, lending his voice for The Duke of Weselton in Frozen, Heihei in Moana and Moana 2, Mad Hatter in Once Upon a Studio, and Valentino in Wish, among many others.
