Benedict has done the voiceover for three Hiscox Insurance adverts.

Thanks!

Um, weird.
But Benedict's voice is of course as awesome as ever. Why can't he just narrate everything? It would make life much more epic!

Is it only me or does "Hiscox" sound kind of creepy? I mean, it seems to be an insurance but it kinda sounds like the name of some drug or medicine.. haha.

"Hiscox" doesn't make me think of a drug or medicine. I can tell you that! How he says it with a straight face I don't know.

Good lord they're a bit sappy aren't they? That kind of advert would never work in Aus. We'd all be like "yeah ok pull the other one" lol

I don't think it's to do with nationality!!

Oh god, how did I not notice that? :O

but, well, apart from that I still think it sounds like a drug or something, hehe.
