Redmayne joins “Thomas the Tank Engine”

Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne is lending his voice to a new train in the next “Thomas the Tank Engine” adventure.

He will be the voice of Ryan on a “Thomas and Friends” DVD titled “Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure”.

The star said he “jumped at the opportunity” to be part of the recording, having grown up with Thomas.

The announcement comes days after he picked up the Oscar for best actor for his role as Professor Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything”.

The film will also feature the voices of John Hurt and Jamie Campbell Bower.
