5 | Wallace Michael Shawn (born November 12, 1943 in New York City, New York) is an American actor, comedian, voice actor, playwright, and essayist. |

7 | Best known to many audiences 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, Shawn 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!''''' |
