It’s been a while since we last saw Billy Crystal in a live-action flick, but the actor is set to return for an appearance in Michael Lembeck’s comedy “Tooth Fairy,” according to Variety.

Crystal joins Dwayne Johnson, who plays a minor-league hockey player who carries the nickname ‘Tooth Fairy’ because he takes pleasure in knocking out his opponents’ teeth. 



In a sudden turn of events, however, he is ordered to real tooth fairy duty, which includes wearing wings, makeup, a wand and tutu.

Also on board are Ashley Judd, Ryan Sheckler, Stephen Merchant and Julie Andrews.

The last time we saw Crystal on the big screen was in 2002’s comedy “Analyze That.” After that, he did some voice work on “Cars” and the English version of “Howl’s Moving Castle.”

Although I’m sure he’ll play a minor role in “Fairy,” it’s good to have him back.
