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.
