## Early life

## Career

[edit]

In 1991, while auditioning for the role of Andy in Toy Story, Morris brought some of his X-Men action figures and made voices for them; the Pixar staff loved it and gave him the part.[4][5] Morris was brought back on to Toy Story 3 by the request of the director Lee Unkrich. On the Toy Story 3 Blu-ray/DVD, Unkrich elaborated that they first had to seek out contact information for Morris, then there was a growing concern over whether his voice would sound right - fears that were relieved when Unkrich first called Morris and heard his voicemail greeting.[6]

He also has minor fame for voicing "Pepper Roni" in the 1997 video game Lego Island.[7]

## Personal life

A 2007 graduate from the University of California-Los Angeles School of Theater, Film & Television, Morris resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1]
