The Will-Ferrell-led canine comedy Strays is in theaters now, coming with it a star-studded cast.
The R-rated comedy follows Reggie, a naive optimistic Border Terrier who's abandoned by his own on the mean streets of the city, as he tries to get home to get revenge on the man that left him being.
The movie has been getting middling reviews (sitting at 55% on Rotten Tomatoes) with critics calling out its "sophomoric bathroom humor and gratuitous vulgarity" and "tonal shifts" among other things.
Every Actor & Character in Strays
1.) Will Ferrell - Reggie

Ferrell has been one of the biggest names in comedy for the better part of 20 years. After getting his start on Saturday Night Live in the late 1990s and early 2000s the actor has gone on to star in certified comedic classics like Elf, Anchorman, and Step Brothers.
