Thanks to the meticulous and painstaking way they create every single detail of their films, there aren't many who have as much success with their films as Pixar Animation Studios. Perhaps one reason they are nigh on perfect is that the cast of each film reflects the way in which they are made: it's all about teamwork. There isn't one Pixar film which has an outright star as all of them either focus on the buddy movie double act, or even a whole group or family of central characters. This is clearly something that is important to Pixar as a company, as any employee, from director to cleaner, is allowed to pitch an idea for a film, and it is the people who work for them who are often considered their most important assets. This goes not just for those who work for Pixar full time, but also those who contribute to individual films. Each has allowed for more and more actors to lend their talents to Pixar's ever growing list of loveable and imaginative characters, but despite the growing number of characters requiring voices, the fact that they are heard rather than seen means that many of their talented cast often go unrecognised. This obviously isn't always the case, as Samuel L. Jackson's appearance in The Incredibles proves there are some voices that can be recognised anywhere, and Michael Caine's starring role as Finn McMissile in Cars 2 brought a touch of undeniable British class to Pixar's repertoire. Just because he is the most recognisable though, he is far from the only British talent to have the honour of working for Hollywood's most untouchable studio, and there are many more than you realise....
