TWO major Hollywood stars will be voicing characters for a family musical coming to Brentwood.

True Blood actors Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin will provide voiceovers for the Brentwood Theatre Company’s family musical, the Plotters of Cabbage Patch Corner, which is being performed over Christmas.

Moyer, who plays vampire Bill Compton in the hit TV series, was born in Brentwood and got his first experience of acting in amateur groups in the town.

He is now a patron of the theatre company and will sit down with the Oscar-winning Paquin – his wife – the next time they are in the UK, to record the lines.

The pair will be voicing about a dozen lines for the characters Mr and Mrs Big One from the production, which is based around animals living in a garden trying to stop its owners concreting it over.

David Zelly, production manager for the company, said: “Both Stephen and Anna have agreed to do the voices and we are now just waiting for the final phone call to come through from them saying where and when they will do it.

“Stephen does a lot with us whenever he can and we thought it would be a very nice thing if we could get them involved.”

Other projects which Moyer has got involved in with the company have included the buy a brick scheme, where they asked for donations to help refurbish the theatre.

American fan sites for the actor have also got involved in projects with the company in the past and have made a donation for the Feed an Actor scheme, which provides hot meals for cast members during rehearsals and the shows.

Tickets for the show are still available, priced between £11 and £12.50, and can be bought by calling 01277 200305.
