Ken’s voice was used for Trufflehunter the badger in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008).

Ken is a consummate professional and in March 2009 stopped a performance of the play A View from the Bridge when schoolchildren in the audience started making lots of noise. An audience member later wrote on the What’s On Stage website: ‘From where I was sitting, I wasn’t too aware of them – I definitely did hear them giggling at a few inappropriate moments, though. Since they were in the front row, I’m sure they must have been really irritating to the cast. His performance is so incredible and must require such a level of concentration that it is totally fair of him not to tolerate distractions like that.

‘Their teacher was arguing that they hadn’t done anything, and the ushers were trying their best to sort things out, and people in the audience were indeed getting quite rowdy and rebellious. It was all a bit uncomfortable. There were so many schoolchildren there and they were pretty silent after that little incident.’
