Nigel George Planer is an English Actor, comedian, musician, novelist and playwright. Planer is most famous for his role as Neil the hippie in the comedy series The Young Ones, and as part of the Comic Strip ensemble of alternative comedy performers who spawned it. He is also a prolific stage and screen actor, appearing in musicals and one-man shows.

Voice Work

Planer has lent his voice to several Discworld related projects. Most notably he was one of the original reader of the unabridged audiobook editions of the Discworld novels; he narrated the first twenty-three novels (The Colour of Magic through Carpe Jugulum), except for Equal Rites and Wyrd Sisters, which were read by Celia Imrie. (Stephen Briggs took over from The Fifth Elephant onwards.)

Nigel also provided voice acting for the videogames Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!? and Discworld Noir.

Other Contributions

He played the character Vernon Crumley in the television series of Hogfather, and the Arch-Astronomer of Krull in The Colour of Magic.
