ToyStory4: Voiced by Tony Hale, the anxiety-ridden utensil seems likely to become the character of the year

’s Forky seems likely to become the character of the year. He’s weird. He’s a Halloween costume waiting to happen. His catchphrase—“I’M TRAAAAAASH!”—is the battle cry of a generation. And most importantly,The character’s identity crisis begins with his very name—why call him “Forky” and not “Sporky”?

Forky is a weirdo in a similar way to some of your other characters, like Buster and Gary—but what sets him apart from them, aside from his bodily form?he wasn't really allowed to use his voice. Selina Meyer never really let him talk. He was even called a “bitchy mime“ on the show. And Forky, he has no flexibility in his body. He barely can walk. His googly eyes are completely out of control. His arms are almost way too flexible. The control in those are limited.

On a personal level, you’ve talked about how you can relate to Forky because you've also dealt with anxiety. Who has been the Woody in your life—the person who helped you realize you do have value and purpose even when you feel lost? It’s been a series of them, honestly. In terms of anxiety, I would say probably seven or eight years ago, I had a bit of an awakening where I didn't have to be such a victim to my thoughts and my feeling. Where I learned about setting them outside of myself through cognitive behavioral therapy, where you learn to label them rather than identify yourself with them.
