<\/a>Growing up as Andy Davis is just part of John Morris<\/a>‘ life. <\/p>\n

As you’re probably aware, the 25 year old is reprising his famous childhood role in Toy Story 3<\/a>! But it’s been over 10 years since the sequel to Pixar’s first franchise landed in theatres, so what’s he been up to all this time? <\/p>\n

BackStage spoke to Morris<\/a> about how he got the role of Andy at age 7 and what his life has been like ever since. It’s a simple story, after obtaining a degree from UCLA<\/span>, the young actor was ready to re-open the toy box. "That was what got me really excited: that the story was going to continue." <\/p>\n

Morris remembers that fateful day when he charmed Disney and Pixar with his favorite toys at the open casting call for Toy Story. Even though the last time he performed the role of Buzz and Woody’s owner was during his early teens, he hasn’t lost his touch and continues to make an impression. It’s no wonder since he’s had quite a few roles in theatre since then. <\/p>\n

In the highly anticipated sequel he’s as believable as ever. After all, his true passion seems to be performing. But the best part is that his iconic character has noticeably evolved, as I’m sure Morris has as an actor. <\/p>\n

Read the full interview over at BackStage<\/a>, you might be surprised to see who Morris’ favorite actor is. Hint, he’s a Pixar favorite. For more from "Andy" himself, follow @john_morris on Twitter. <\/p>\n
