When it comes to celebrities lending their voices to various works, sometimes it’s hard to tell whom you’re hearing. You recognize the voice, but you can’t always put a face to it. I’ve had this happen to me a number of times, often with extremely well known actors like Ian McKellen.

The Tomorrow People’s artificially intelligent mentor now has a famous voice behind it.

Stevens, who will next be seen alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in The Fifth Estate, is far from the first actor to be heard-but-not-seen on a TV series. Kristen Bell was the voice of Gossip Girl for six seasons, Bob Saget has been...
