According to Patrick Stewart, Tom Hanks is a huge Trekkie and the first time the two met, Star Trek was the only thing he wanted to talk about. Hanks was actually the original choice to play Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek: First Contact (1996), and desperately wanted to play the role, but had to back out due to his earlier commitment to That Thing You Do! |

file under; you probably knew this already. michael j. fox was not the first choice for alex on famliy ties, mathew broderick was. he declined to do movies. NBC exec brandon tartikoff reportedly said of fox; "you'll never see his face on a lunch box." when fox ended up popular because of the show, he had a lunch box made up with him on it and sent it to tartikoff. |

Apart from the 3 motion pictures, in every Disney production for tv, video, merchandise, or video games, the Toy Story character of Woody is not played by Tom Hanks. It's played by his brother Jim, who apparently does a spot on match to Tom's voice

Several times over the course of the Rocky movies, the Italian Stallion, best known for being a "Southpaw" is shown frequently signing contracts & autographs with his right hand. Over the years, they had to be aware of that, & didn't attempt to correct it. Apparently, Rocky is not specifically left handed |

![]() ![]() ![]() Dick Van Dyke had his heart set on playing Mr. Dawes, Sr. in Mary Poppins, and said they didn't have to pay him anything extra, he just really wanted to do it for the fun. Although Walt Disney had offered him the part of Bert right out, he made him audition for the part of Mr. Dawes, Sr. While viewing a make-up test for Van Dyke in the projection room, Disney saw him entertaining crew members on the test film between takes with some comic routines, among them the "stepping down" routine of an old man trying to step off a curb without hurting himself. The test film not only convinced Disney to cast Dick Van Dyke as Mr. Dawes, Sr., but Walt specifically requested that crew members "build a six-inch riser on the board room set so Dick can do that stepping-down routine" in the film. Fun Fact: On the Mary Poppins 40th anniversary DVD commentary, Dick Van Dyke revealed that after they did the makeup test, he went for a walk on the Disney backlot. Spying a tourist tour bus, he tried out his "stepping-down routine" on the curb, and inched his way across the street, causing the tour bus to wait for him until he reached the other side. As the bus drove off, he waited a few seconds before breaking out into a sprint, running along side the bus in full old-man makeup, his cane gripped in his hand. And that is why he is king of all things. Dick Van Dyke turns 90 this year. Feel the joy of his presence in the world while you still can |
