Video: Toy Story 3 Director Lee Unkrich on ‘Win, Lose or Draw’

Before Pixar Director Lee Unkrich made it big, he was just like you and I… a regular 20-year-old kid wearing an awful sweater, trying to earn some cash to pay for school.

The difference being he decided to earn money by dominating an episode of the game show “Win, Lose or Draw” in 1987. According to Mr. Unkrich, he was “coerced into buying that sweater by the show’s producers.”

And in case you’re wondering, he used his winnings to pay for his USC housing fees. This video was posted by Mr. Unkrich, as promised, once he reached the 100,000 followers threshold on twitter.
