Media Molecule's Alex Evans announced at an E3 press briefing that British comedian/actor Stephen Fry has been chosen as the narrator for LittleBigPlanet. Fry is most famous in the United States as a reader for audio books such as the Harry Potter series and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, though he appeared in movies such as V for Vendetta and MirrorMask. We really didn't think anything could make game sound any better, but we think this news just did!Stephen Fry makes LittleBigPlanet sound even better

Wow! Take it from me (as a Brit), this is an excellent decision. Stephen Fry is an absolute legend, and one of the funniest and most intelligent guys around. He will fit perfectly with the offbeat humor of this game.
If it's at all possible, I am even more stoked for this game now. Well done MM!!

Perfect as when Rik Mayall was selected for Hogs of War. :D
Heres hope he says the title in his posh, witty, academic voice as the game starts up.

What is with the picture? Why does ps3fanboy insist on using the worst photos of people (see the Howard Stringer pic they always use)

Those are his most famous roles?
Jeez, does no one watch House? Fry and Laurie reunited! Also, if you're a fan of Hugh Laurie, check out Jeeves and Wooster sometime.

Jim Dale is the reader of the Harry Potter audiobooks here in the US.. Perhaps Stephen Fry reads the UK version, but he definitely doesn't read the US ones.

I second that. Jim Dale does Harry Potter in the US and Pushing Daisies the tv show

And funnily enough, they're both British.
Perhaps ... Perhaps Steven is just a tad *too* British for the Americans to stomach? XD
(You're right, by the way)
