Crystal has had an illustrious career in Hollywood. After being purchased by Birds and Animals United with the specific purpose of being trained to appear in TV and film, Crystal did not disappoint. She began her career working on the Animal Actors stage show at Universal Studios Florida. She began her movie career playing a young monkey in George of the Jungle.
She has since worked on a variety of films, including the entire Night at the Museum series (troublesome monkey named Dexter), The Hangover Part 2 ( drug dealing monkey) and Zookeeper (she played Donal the monkey). Crystal also starred in the TV series Animal Practice, playing Dr. Rizzo. Before the show was cancelled, she reportedly earned $264,000 per season, or $12,000 per episode. That buys a lot of bananas.
