From Dr Stephen Hawking to Thomas the Tank Engine’s mate.
Eddie Redmayne will be heard in the next “Thomas & Friends” instalment, titled “Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure”.
Redmayne voiced a new engine, Ryan, who meets Thomas on the Island of Sodor.
“I grew up loving to watch Thomas and his pals getting caught up in unexpected and mischievous adventures,” said Redmayne in a statement. “I jumped at the opportunity to get involved and what fun it was! I have never voiced an animated character before, and I had a complete blast.”
John Hurt and Jamie Campbell Bower also joined the cast as Sailor John and Skiff, respectively.
The hour-long feature will be released on DVD later this year.
