Famous people?

Question

I'm doing an English project and I need a good famous person to act as the narrator. Preferably someone from older books/real life, because modern people might be too much.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

That would depend on the exact purpose of the project, but one who comes to my mind right away is Laurence Olivier. Maybe John Houseman. As far as living people, Laurence Fishburne?

Answer 2

J.R.R. Tolkien... ;)

Answer 3

Rod Sterling!
