Talk to me, baby

Neil Gaiman's voice reminds me of Alan Rickman's. It makes me wonder if they grew up in the same part of Britain. (Also, y'know, he's talking about everything from fairy tales to quantum physics, so there's that.)

"What do you do when you've finished your quest? What do you do when you come home? And that's always the question that never gets answered properly in any fairy tale, and it's always the place where -- unless you can believe in happily ever after, and I've not seen one yet -- where you always have to go as an author."

Alan is still my One True Voicegasm, though :)

Taking a skim of both men's bios, Rickman is a native born Londoner in the working class area, while Gaiman's family came from Belgium and emigrated to Portsmouth into a similar working class area. So there are a few similarities for their accents but likely more that both went on to get good educations before their pro careers.
