Subject: Pierce Brosnan to narrate Thomas the Tank Engine series
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/19/07 at 5:27 pm
Actor Pierce Brosnan has signed on as the narrator of Thomas the Tank Engine - a role previously taken by ex-Beatle Ringo Starr and US star Alec Baldwin.
The former James Bond actor said he was "thrilled" to take part in such a "beloved" programme and "follow in the shoes of so many famous names".
Brosnan will make his debut in Thomas and Friends: The Great Discovery - a DVD to be released in autumn 2008.
The 54-year-old will narrate three DVD specials and three TV series.
"One of my fondest memories as a father was sharing the stories of Thomas the Tank Engine and watching the series with my children when they were young," he said.
The Irish star said he was delighted to be "helping introduce Thomas and friends to many more generations of children".

I wonder will he appear on the series like George Carlin, Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin did, or will he just do the voiceovers?

But he'll sound too British.
