Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry is a British actor, writer, and television presenter known for his wit, erudition, and distinctive voice.
He rose to prominence in comedy partnerships with Hugh Laurie and has since become a cultural institution—hosting quiz shows, narrating audiobooks, and advocating for mental health awareness.
I've been listening to Stephen Fry read the Harry Potter books.
