BABE (1995)
Cromwell could never have imagined that a talking pig would help earn him an Academy Award nomination and change both his career and life.

"When they sent me the script, I thought it was going to be like a Disney film where they put peanut butter in the mouths of the animals and they sort of move them up and down. I actually flipped through the script looking for my part and realized there were only about 17 lines or so. I thought, 'Oh, man.' But I didn't have a job, so I went on the audition. The first time I really started to believe in it was while we were shooting. We'd all sit around with a beer and watch the dailies and make bets on which was the real animal and which was the animatronic. I would be watching these animals and think, 'They look really great.'"
