The Big Picture Tom Hanks has many memorable roles, from the title character in Forrest Gump to Cast Away's Chuck Noland, but there is a generation of people who first and foremost know him as Woody from Toy Story. In 1995, the animated film explored what would happen if toys came to life when they were alone, introducing Hanks as the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west.

Toy Story GAnimationAdventureComedyFamilyFantasy A cowboy doll is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as top toy in a boy's bedroom. Years later, Hanks recounted how he got the role in an interview with BBC. He explained that Pixar animated an early version of Woody and used Hanks' voice for the cowboy, specifically by taking Hanks' audio from another film he starred in: Turner & Hooch. The scene they chose was Turner yelling at his canine partner for eating the interior of the car.

Describing the combination of his outraged voice and the little cowboy toy as "undeniably great," Hanks joined the project early on. He explained that the creators tried to describe the risk they were taking, admitting that it may or may not work, but Hanks believed in the project, and thus, he championed the film. It is fortunate that not only did they take a risk in their presentation to Hanks, but that Hanks agreed to star in the project.
