Summary
Resident Alienhas had plenty of lay down sci - fi TV and movie star show up across the first three seasons , and it ’s a trend I hope preserve intoResident Alienseason 4 . As a huge fan of the scientific discipline - fiction musical genre , it ’s always a pleasant surprise to spot intimate faces in the godless Alan Tudyk - lead dramedy , no matter how abbreviated their cameos may be . SomeResident Aliensci - fi guest starshave cash in one’s chips on to become a huge part of the cast , whereas others pay just a momentary sojourn to Patience , Colorado . Both scenarios are fun , and they keep the cast batting order fresh .
I ’m realistic about what I gestate fromResident Alienseason 4 node stars . Whilethe show has already managed to snag huge worker likeTerminator ’s Linda HamiltonandStar Trek ’s George Takei , there ’s no guaranteeResident Alien ’s recent switch from Syfy to USA connection will continue the convention of big names show up . However , the cameo trend has restfully become one ofResident Alien ’s hallmark , so the producer ca n’t permit it strike away completely . As such , my list of desired guest stars is a blend of being guided by what the show has done before as well as realistic casting .
Although Resident Alien season 4 has n’t yet been confirm , the next installment of the Syfy show needs to answer question posture by season 3 .

10Robert Duncan McNeill
Best known for: Star Trek: Voyager
McNeill played Lt . Tom Paris inall 7 season ofStar Trek : Voyager . He has moved away from act in recent old age and has long been focusing on other facets of the creative process , but I was thrilled when he lately reprised hisStar Trekrole in the animated spinoff show , Star Trek : Lower Decks . Before that , his last credited acting role was in a 2012 episode ofChuck . However , McNeill already has a lineal connection toResident Alien , which I retrieve could make the theory of a cameo much more probable .
The former member of the Star Trek : Voyager plaster bandage is a producer on Resident Alien , and has also direct 10 sequence to engagement .
The former member of theStar Trek : Voyagercastis a producer onResident Alien , and has also directed 10 episodes to date . He has also snagged his very first written material credit on the show for theResident Alienseason 3 close , " Homecoming . “McNeill has been an incredibly key behind - the - scenery name forResident Alien , so I ’d love him to add to his contributions by appearing in front of the tv camera for a cameo appearance .
A television adaptation of the comic book series, Resident Alien is a sci-fi comedy that stars Alan Tudyk as an alien who crashes on Earth with one mission - destroy humanity to save the planet. When Tudyk’s character takes the identity of a doctor, he arrives at a small town and begins to act the role preparing his plan. As time passes, he develops human emotions against his will - but his plans are further complicated when he meets the son of the mayor - who can see his actual appearance.
9Seth MacFarlane
Best known for: The Orville
While many may hump Seth MacFarlane for his role as the creator ofFamily Guy , his character onThe Orvillemeans he ’s recognizable as a sci - fi actor now too . It was n’t hard for me to make for out he ’s a Brobdingnagian fan of the genre , what with the endless references to huge sci - fi franchise in bothFamily GuyandAmerican Dad!Although , the most solid piece of evidence come whenMacFarlane created and chose to asterisk inThe Orville .
His take on theStar Trekfranchise has made him a force to be reckoned with in sci - fi , and his performances as Captain Ed Mercer give him a rare resilient - action character .
His take on theStar Trekfranchise has made him a force to be reckoned with in sci - fi , and his performances as Captain Ed Mercer give him a rarified live - activity character . Seth MacFarlane has made several cameos in television receiver shows and picture , but often by have use of his immense interpreter - represent talents . Resident Aliencould explore this route and bring MacFarlane in to vocalize an extraterrestrial character , but I think an in - person cameo would array better with his position as a star inThe Orville . It also goes without saying thatMacFarlane ’s comedic stylings would blend perfectly withResident Alien ’s .
8Nathan Fillion
Best known for: Firefly
Now , I ’m aware thatNathan Fillion has already technically appeared inResident Alien , voice an octopus name 42 in several episodes . Fillion ’s cast as 42 created something of a mini - reunion , as Alan Tudyk was also a linchpin in theFireflycast . While Fillion did a great problem vocalise 42 , I ’m of the strong impression that not having the actor himself appear onscreen was a monolithic wastefulness .
Nathan Fillion deserves the chance to apply his entire acquirement bent , particularly in a show that suits him as perfectly asResident Alien . While it could be argued that having him look in person opposite his formerFireflyco - whiz could be distracting , Resident Alienoften makes consumption of heavy prosthetics . So , Fillion could make for an alien character to keep everybody glad . Although , I ’d be fine with him appearing without the composition too .
7Kate Mulgrew
Another formerStar Trek : Voyagerstar , Mulgrew played Captain Kathryn Janeway throughout all seven seasons . SinceVoyagerended , she has manage to deflect being type as a sci - fi actor , although she has returned to the genre several meter . Her varied acting history shows how flexible she can be . While I know her mainly as a dramatic actor , watching her as Janeway proves she ’s no unknown to break a scene ’s tension with a well - timed jocularity . Although , Linda Hamilton’sResident Aliencharacter has already rise that not everyone inResident Alienshow has to be a barrel of laugh to be effective .
While science - fiction has n’t been the stress of Mulgrew ’s career , I was delighted when I ascertain her returning to the enfranchisement for which she ’s most known to vocalize an invigorate rendering of herVoyagercharacter inStar Trek : Prodigy . So , her willingness to take on sci - fi projects despite her varied career is a promising sign for my desire to see her make a cameo show inResident Alienseason 4 .
6Karen Gillan
Best known for: Doctor Who, the MCU
Of the names on this listing , Gillan would probably be the most difficult acquisition forResident Alien . She is still alive in one of the biggest movie franchises on the planet , so withResident Alienseason 4 being rumor to have its budget cutting , it ’s potential her remuneration would be too high . That being said , she of late appeared in a TV miniseries calledDouglas is Cancelled , sothere is promise yet to see her superstar alongside Alan Tudyk in season 4 .
Resident Alien has already had several sci - fi virtuoso come along in guest character , but the show ’s next big cameo could come from an unexpected place .
Karen Gillan ’s role as Nebula in the MCU makes her almost unrecognizable , but I and many other rooter of hers know what she really looks like from appear as Amy Pond alongside Matt Smith ’s Eleventh Doctor inDoctor Who . A few members of theResident Aliencast often speed between being to a great extent disguise and showing their true faces . Now thatGillan has proven her acting talents do n’t diminish when she ’s covered in prostheticsand makeup , this could increase her fortune of being considered for aResident Alienseason 4 .
5Arnold Schwarzenegger
Best known for: The Terminator
It palpate very obvious to me from the season 3 finale thatResident Alienseason 4 ’s story will be a nod to 1984’sThe Terminator . With Terry Quinn back as the flim-flam - out Alien Tracker , the aesthetical similarities between his character and Schwarzenegger ’s T-800 are impossible to deny . With Linda Hamilton already present among theResident Aliencast , I’d eff to see Schwarzenegger bring on board to complete theTerminatorhomage .
Although he ’s better bonk as an action hero , motion picture like 1990’sKindergarten Copand 1996’sJingle All the Wayprove theTerminatorstar does n’t shy off from clowning projects either .
Although he ’s better make out as an action mechanism hero , pic like 1990’sKindergarten Copand 1996’sJingle All the Wayprove theTerminatorstar does n’t shy away from comedy task either . Resident Alienis at its good when both its comedic and striking constituent are can on all piston chamber , soan actor like Schwarzenegger would slot in perfectlyanyway , no matter of whether the show prefer to double down on itsTerminatorreference in theResident Alienseason 3 finale .
A television adaptation of the comic book series, Resident Alien is a sci-fi comedy that stars Alan Tudyk as an alien who crashes on Earth with one mission - destroy humanity to save the planet. When Tudyk’s character takes the identity of a doctor, he arrives at a small town and begins to act the role preparing his plan. As time passes, he develops human emotions against his will - but his plans are further complicated when he meets the son of the mayor - who can see his actual appearance.
4Billy Dee Williams
Best known for: Star Wars
Despite his stead among the upper echelon of sci - fi royal family , Billy Dee Williams has still popped up in several movies and TV shows throughout his careerthat have no connection to his iconicStar Warsrole . This mental attitude of not take himself too earnestly is what would make him a perfect guest star onResident Alien , as well as the fact that his comportment would definitely tick the box of have a sci - fi fable on dining table .
Unfortunately , Williams does n’t have too many acting credits in late years , so I may not get to see this dally out .
I often think of Williams ' cameo inScrubsseason 5 , sequence 10 , " Her Story II , " and the fact that he was there at all was almost the integral joke , and yet he act the " part " well . I ’d love to see what he could do in a more scripted cameo inResident Alien , and also while play a thought - out character rather than just a edition of himself . Unfortunately , Williams does n’t have too many acting credits in recent years , so I may not get to see this bring out .
3Claudia Black
Best known for: Farscape
Claudia Black ’s most iconic role is Aeyrn Sunas part of theFarscapecast . Since the show terminate in 2003 , Black has n’t shied off from the sci - fi music genre . Not only have I seen her crop up up in live - action sci - fi shows likeStargate SG-1andAhsoka , but my auricle always prick up when I hear her vox in the countless other sci - fi video shows and video games in which she ’s star .
Although Claudia Black lean to largely take voice roles more than in - person appearances in recent years , her periodic hot - activity characters prove she ’s still more than capable of traditional acting .
Although Claudia Black tends to largely take voice roles more than in - person appearances in late years , her episodic springy - action characters demonstrate she ’s still more than capable of traditional acting . I opine I ’d have a go at it it even more ifResident Alienseason 4 did n’t just bring Black into the bend , but also Ben Browder - who played John Crichton opposite Black ’s character throughoutFarscape . The duo make the jump to theStargateuniverse together , so I do n’t see why it could n’t happen again .
2Laurence Fishburne
Best known for: The Matrix
Fishburne is another actor who seems to have made a conscious effort not to be restrain to sci - fi stories . That being said , despite his eclectic filmography , I find it impossible to look at him and not think of his performance as Morpheus in theMatrixfranchise . The actor carry with him an effortless gravitas that could arguably make him a little too intense for a show likeResident Alien , but the show has proven to be very flexible with its note .
Any character play by Fishburne inResident Alienwould surely be influenced by Morpheus in some way .
I would also encounter it fascinating to look on a traditionally serious actor like Fishburne divvy up a conniption with someone like Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle . Any part play by Fishburne inResident Alienwould surely be influenced by Morpheus in some style , andwatching him interact with an off - the - rampart chassis like Harry would be effortlessly hilariousfor the disparity alone .
1Katey Sagal
Best known for: Futurama
It can be very easy to forget that Katey Sagal is a long - serve sci - fi actor . Although her unrecorded - legal action part steer clear of the genre , she ’s been part of theFuturamacastas Turanga Leela since the show set out in 1999.Futuramasits somewhere in the same class asResident Alienin that both can also don the recording label of absurdist drollery , soSagal is well - practiced in how to render lines in a show likeResident Alien .
The bad guy introduced in the Resident Alien season 3 finale does n’t just impact the narration but also Tudyk ’s character in the Syfy comedy show .
I ’ve long been a buff of Katey Sagal ’s represent outsideFuturama , but I ’d lie with to see her in a live - action sci - fi show rather than just hearing her voice in the animated Matt Groening sitcom . While some witness may not recognize Sagal as a sci - fi star at first glimpse in an episode ofResident Alien , the fact that she essentially lends her own , unaltered voice to Leela would direct a few acknowledgment circuit enkindle in the audience ’s mind when she opens her back talk .
