Twenty years after the premiere of Toy Story, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Tim Allen voicing the space ranger Buzz Lightyear. But before Allen was cast, the part was offered to comedian Billy Crystal. Crystal said he turned down the part because he didn’t understand how a movie about talking toys would work. He later called turning down the part the biggest regret of his career. So when Pixar came back and offered him a role in Monsters Inc, Crystal immediately accepted.
