New Line gave us confirmation today that
Adam Godley, who has been listed on the Internet Movie Database for the past few days, will indeed voice Lyra's daemon, Pantalaimon, in the upcoming movies.
Wikipedia informs us that he is a “British actor with an American accent.” Godley's most prominent recent roles have been as Mr Teavee in
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as Mr Trench in
Love Actually. You can listen to two clips of him as the latter character
here and
here
His voice sounds a little old for the part. I liked the Pantalaimon voice in the BBC radio adaption. The accent's right in the Love Actually clips, thoigh.
