Bowen Yang and Brett Goldstein join Garfield, igniting hope in a weary nation
The two join Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, and Ving Rhames.
Sometimes we find ourselves clinging to the smallest sliver of good news, in order to rationalize the ongoing drudge of daily life. This newfound hope burns like a candle in a windowsill, adding warmth and blocking out the surrounding darkness. This newest slice of news comes as Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang and Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein join the forthcoming animated Garfield feature, per The Hollywood Reporter, which is such a wonderful dispatch it almost makes you forget that Chris Pratt is voicing the lasagna-loving, Monday-hating feline.
Goldstein joins his Ted Lasso co-star Hannah Waddingham in Garfield, alongside Yang, Samuel L. Jackson, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, and Ving Rhames. Exactly who Goldstein and Yang are playing has not been revealed, but Yang took to Instagram to share that he’s “unfortunately not playing Arlene or Nermal” in the film.
