Also Alastair Reynolds and Karl Schroeder - but I ran out of space in the title.

Yes, Alastair Reynolds is excellent.

Also, you forgot Ivan Sutherland.

And Brian Reynolds did two episodes as well. All recommended if those names are interesting to you.

Are there that many? Off the top of my head, I can think of Hugh Laurie, but no-one else springs to mind (I'm british though so it might well be less visible to me).

You left out Nicolas Gallagher and Jonathan Snook :)

Or Stephen Fry.

Ah, I was confused. It was Hugo Weaving and Tony Martin.

Ian Richardson, Bernard Hepton, Michael Jayston, Ian Bannen, Joss Ackland, Beryl Reid, Anthony Bate, Sian Phillips and even Patrick Stewart.

Definitely not just the Alec Guinness Show.

Brad Bird would be amazing. He did great with MI4.

+1 for mentioning the greatest casting duo of all time. Sad they moved on, hard for me to even guess how many hours i've spent with them on in background or foreground

Or when Mary Beard was cut from the American release of Civilisation.

She, a world-renowned scholar and classicist, was replaced by Liev fucking Schreiber.

Sir Walter Raleigh - all I can think of is the actor who played him in Blackadder...

Let us not forget Ian Murdock, and all the others lesser well known.
