Euan Lewis MacLeod (born 1970) is a prolific Scottish character actor, who can be heard as the voice of a huge number of television commercials, movie trailers and cartoons in his native UK. He voices characters such as Sebulba from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and Postman Pat.[1] He can also be heard as The Earl on Cartoon Network's Skatoony, as well as comedy sketches for BBC Radio, including BBC Radio Scotland's Off the Ball, Bigipedia for BBC Radio 4, Newsjack for BBC Radio 7, Mario Abdullah-Levy in the BBC Comedy Series Look Around You and Mr. Stubborn from The Mr. Men Show.
He is infamous to fans of the classic PC game of the 90's "Theme Park World"; players would notoriously become frustrated and pestered by his voice constantly discrediting their actions.
His acting credits include 16 Years of Alcohol and The Purifiers directed by Richard Jobson as well as Happy Holidays and Terri McIntyre for BBC Scotland.
MacLeod worked for a while with the Star Wars universe: He reprised his role as Sebulba in the video games: Star Wars: Episode I Racer, Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing, Star Wars: Racer Revenge and LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game via uncrredited archived sounds and also played Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi in the video games: Star Wars: Obi-Wan,Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing, a role previously played by Alec Guiness in the Star Wars Original Trilogy and later by fellow Scottish actor Ewan McGregor in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy and LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. He is also an outstanding mimic, with a voice range including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Christopher Walken, Gordon Brown and George Galloway.[2]
MacLeod played the Paul McCartney character in The Beatles sketches in the Harry and Paul series 3 for the BBC.
He lives in Glasgow and London and is married with two daughters. He is also good friends with voice actor Rupert Degas.
