In the animated musical comedy Sing 2, released in 2021, he voiced the character Jimmy Crystal, the primary antagonist and a wolf impresario of a major entertainment corporation. Tosar has expressed that he was attracted to the role because the character had the traits of a gangster, which he found very entertaining to perform.
