Most renown for his role as the titular character in “House M.D.”, Sony Computer Entertainment have confirmed that Hugh Laurie will be loaning his voice to LittleBigPlanet 3. This will be the first time that that English actor has starred in a video game, and will be starting things off on a high note by voicing the games villain. This will also see him reunite with Stephen Fry, who will be resuming his role as the game’s narrator.
It’s not nearly as different as I might have thought 10 years ago; storytelling is storytelling, whatever form it takes and I’m attracted to anything I can do for the first time. This seemed to me to be so completely charming, witty and lovingly done that I was very taken with it.
– Hugh Laurie on lending his voice to a video game
We were keen to attract the best possible voice talent we could for LittleBigPlanet 3 and who better could we ask for than Hugh Laurie? Hugh brings both the kind of humour and sense of darkness we were going for; we knew he’d be perfect as Newton, plus it pairs him up once again with Stephen Fry!
