Tony Hale Stars in ‘Say Action’: Monster Movie Special for ‘Sketch’ Tribute

Tony Hale is a master of comedy, captivating both critics and audiences alike with his delightful performances in beloved sitcoms like Arrested Development and Veep, as well as in enchanting films such as Toy Story 4 and Hocus Pocus 2. In his latest project, Sketch, Hale reveals a more serious side, sharing the screen with grieving children and imaginative doodled monsters.

Sketch: A Heartfelt Journey

Sketch marks the feature directorial debut of Seth Worley and centers around a family navigating the loss of their mother. Hale portrays the father of two young kids coping with their grief in very different ways. While his son seeks to smile and carry on, 11-year-old Amber (Bianca Belle) channels her emotions into a sketchbook, where she brings to life fearsome monsters. When a twist of fate and a sprinkle of magic make these drawings come alive, the family must unite to confront their shared pain and find a way to move forward together.
