He also voices Forky in the Pixar film Toy Story 4 as well as the Disney+ short series Forky Asks a Question.
- He will play Mr. Benedict, a rumpled, affable eccentric genius. He is the head of the Mysterious Benedict Society - a group of orphans he has recruited to save the world. While Mr. Benedict is reluctant to put the children in harm's way, he feels there is no other choice. His Society is mysterious and so is Mr. Benedict himself; he is the genial, cunning mastermind.

A dog lover, who currently owns special needs dogs, she brings over their father's legacy to Scott, a huge slobbery dog named Hooch. Laura is close to both her brother and mother - with whom she discovers that their father's death may not have been an accident.
- Patterson will play Jessica, Scott Turner's partner, and a sharp contrast to his spit-and-polish ways (which she constantly teases him about). Brave and quick-thinking on the job (though sometimes her sense of humor gets her in trouble), she genuinely respects and supports Scott. Happily married to Grady, she has no problem with Scott's new sidekick, a slobbery dog named Hooch, and she's willing to bring Hooch to work with them on a tough case.

Aimless and struggling for direction, she is the complete opposite of her mother, who is a poised and well-respected speech pathologist.
