THQ (UK) Ltd., a subsidiary of THQ Inc., announced yesterday that English actor Anthony Head will lend its voice to one of the characters from Destroy All Humans! 2: Make War Not Love. Anthony voices Ponsonby, head of the MI5 British intelligence agency, who is introduced to help the lead aliens, Crypto and POX, fight against the KGB. However, after unexpected twists and turns, it turns out Ponsonby is not who he appears to be and that no human can be trusted.

"When we were presented with the character Ponsonby, we needed a voice that created an extra dimension and enhanced his upper-class Englishness but hinted at a touch of deceit. Anthony Head has a wealth of acting experience and was the obvious choice. He brought Ponsonby alive in a very unique way," commented Richard Williams, director of marketing at THQ (UK).

Anthony Head is an established English actor with a long line of film, television and stage credits to his name. Anthony was once famed for the popular Nescafe Gold Blend advertisements which ran in the 80s. Since then, he has gone on to play lead roles in TV dramas in the UK and US. Recent characters include Rupert Giles in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, and in the UK he has played Chester Grant in Monarch of the Glen and the straight-laced Prime Minister in Little Britain.
