A portion of a Nintendo Life interview with Christopher Robin Miller, voice actor for Professor Layton...

NL: Professor Layton's calm and reassuring voice is one of his most defining character traits. Did you have any sources of inspiration in creating his voice?

CRM: I believe it was the Owl voice from 'Winnie the Pooh'. A few actors did Owl's voice, but Sebastian Cabot is, to me, the quintessential English gentleman's voice. I also watched Mr. Cabot as Mr. French on a series called 'Family Affair'. The Professor doesn't sound like him, but it was a template.

NL: Are you currently working on some new projects at the moment?

CRM: I act in television and film and am collaborating on some film projects with some well-known producers. I'm always doing other commercial and cartoon VO as well. There may be something happening very soon, however "A true gentleman never reveals too much!".
