I wish there was a better connection." "In this film, Buzz is the action hero. "But I couldn’t just do a shameless impression. Director Angus MacLane also explained the decision to replace Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear for the new film. Hanks and Allen first played Woody and Buzz Lightyear in 1995's Toy Story, which was Pixar's first feature length film.

Tom Hanks said that the audience’s mixed response to Lightyear is due to the recasting and the lack of other characters from the original movies.

Wait for the phone to ring? As an actor, he was inclined to take every opportunity. That was the first time where I was saying, ‘This is the type of artist who I want to be.’ But if you look at anybody’s career, there’s hits and misses. “The other thing that happened in the ’90s was when [agent] Richard Lovett at C.A.A. said, ‘What do you want to do?’” Hanks told the New York Times. “No one had asked me that question, either.

"Presley was a member, so too were several famous politicians and numerous celebrities." As is seen in Elvis, Colonel Tom Parker's relationship with Presley bordered on predatory, with Parker taking more than half of Presley's income and mismanaging Presley's career to further benefit himself.
