* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' series as Rex

He is best known to many for his ''very'' quotable performance as Vizzini in ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', for voicing Rex in the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' series, and for his multiple collaborations with Creator/WoodyAllen. He also has one of the most easily-recognizable voices (and faces) in Hollywood. A very talented actor -- though personally more interested in independent projects and theater, where he is able to deal with far more psychological and philosophical themes than a mainstream audience might be interested in -- the fact that he does not have more mainstream renown is simply '''''Inconceivable!'''''
