Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

John Noble and Jimmi Simpson will voice the bad guys on the new Star Trek animated series, Prodigy.

Noble will voice the Diviner, who rules the mining asteroid of Tars Lamora in a merciless quest to locate the U.S.S. Protostar, the mysteriously abandoned experimental Federation starship at the heart of the show. Instead, a motley crew of six young aliens finds the ship, and learns from the emergency training hologram, Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), how to operate it and what the Federation stands for. One of those six happens to be the Diviner’s child, Gwyn (Ella Purnell), which will complicate matters for her new compatriots, especially since the Diviner sees Gwyn as the heir to his legacy.

Simpson will voice Drednok, the Diviner’s spider-like robotic minion whose only purpose in life is to enforce his master’s will with hard-hearted ruthlessness.

The rest of the cast includes Brett Gray (as Dal), Angus Imrie (as Zero), Rylee Alazraqui (as Rok-Tahk), Dee Bradley Baker (as Murf) and Jason Mantzoukas (as Jankom Pog).
