Alan Tudyk, who played Sonny in "I, Robot," says his character was more popular than Will Smith's, so he was kicked off the film's press run.

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.

The actor Alan Tudyk has claimed he was cut from the 2004 action movie 'I, Robot' for allegedly testing more popularly than its leading man, Will Smith.
