Actor Alan Tudyk revealed he was excluded from the marketing of 'I, Robot' after test audiences preferred his character, Sonny, over Will Smith's lead role. Despite his strong performance, Tudyk felt upset about the lack of recognition.

The "I, Robot" actor said that he was cut from all promo for the movie because he was "testing higher" than costar Will Smith in early screenings.

A lot of people did not know I did Sonny the Robot in I, Robot, and there is a reason. They were doing test audiences for the movie, and they score the characters in this kind of test screening. I got word back: ‘Alan, you are testing higher than Will Smith.’ And then I was gone. I was done. There was no publicity, and my name was not mentioned.
