'The Belties' (written and co-voiced by LOUISE OSBOURNE also featuring the voice of Maeve O'Reilly) is a perfectly formed TWO MINUTE ANIMATION
about a kind-hearted Irish farmer, JACK, who is tasked with sending his beloved
cows to slaughter, he resorts to hiding his herd instead, in increasingly
ridiculous ways. I voice Jack and two of his 'Belties' ... Barry and the rather
nervous Reggie, all great fun!! Producers for 'The Belties' were ALEXANDRA TAYLOR and ANNABEL BRIGHTLING with SCARLETT KEFFORD executive producing.
News from the actor & voice artist best known for voicing 10 characters in Aardman’s Oscar, Golden Globe & BAFTA nominated ‘Shaun the Sheep Movie’ also playing Hector the Llama in the 2015 Christmas Special INTERNATIONAL EMMY AWARD WINNING ‘Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas’. He plays Ambridge Fire-Starter - Keith Horrobin in ‘The Archers’ and in the audio world of ‘Doctor Who’ he has played a Sontaran! He also voices EZRA in the CBeebies hit animation 'JoJo & Gran Gran'.
