Wallace Shawn
Wallace Shawn is an American actor and playwright, recognizable for his distinctive voice and diminutive stature.
He is best known for playing Vizzini in *The Princess Bride* (1987), whose exasperated Inconceivable! became a catchphrase, and for voicing Rex the dinosaur in the *Toy Story* films.
His plays, including *The Designated Mourner* and *Aunt Dan and Lemon*, explore political and moral themes with unsettling intimacy.
