Pixar’s Win Or Lose Series Just Added An SNL Legend To Its Cast

Good news for “Saturday Night Live” and “MacGruber” fans alike! According to IGN, “SNL” veteran Will Forte will be voicing Pickles team softball guru Coach Dan on “Win or Lose.”

While Forte is mostly famous for his live-action film and television characters, he’s been taking on voiceover work since the cult animated sitcom “Clone High.” His other voice roles include “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” Abraham Lincoln in the “Lego Movie” series, and “Gravity Falls,” among others.

While Forte is known too for his often maniacal characters, he can also give the kind of sincere, sweet performance that is perfect for Pixar. Pete Docter commented that “Win or Lose” is “not so much about softball as it is a comedy about love, rivalry, and the challenges we all face in our struggles to win at life” (via ComicBook.com). That sounds perfect for an actor who can go as high and low in energy as Forte. We’ll see how his voice fits the animated character of Coach Dan when “Win or Lose” premieres in 2023.
