Sony today announced details about the voice cast for November's LittleBigPlanet 3, revealing that House M.D. actor Hugh Laurie has joined the mix. He will play the part of a "mischievous" character named Newton.
This is Laurie's first time working on a video game, and he said that's part of the reason why the project caught his eye. "I'm attracted to anything that I can do for the first time," he said in the video you see above.
