Justin Fletcher

Biography

Justin Fletcher is a legendary British actor, comedian, and presenter who has become the defining face of children's television in the United Kingdom. Born in Reading, he is the son of the noted songwriter Guy Fletcher. He rose to immense fame through his work on the BBC's CBeebies channel, where he created and portrayed a vast gallery of iconic characters, most notably the beloved Mr. Tumble in Something Special. His work is uniquely significant for its integration of Makaton signing, making television accessible to children with communication difficulties. Beyond his live-action roles, Justin is a prolific voice actor and a core member of the Aardman Animations family. He has provided the distinctive voices for some of the studio's most global icons, including Shaun and Timmy in the Shaun the Sheep and Timmy Time franchises. To be honest, it is his incredible range—transitioning from slapstick physical comedy in Gigglebiz to nuanced voice work for non-verbal animated characters—that has earned him multiple BAFTA Children's Awards and an MBE for services to broadcasting. As of 2026, he remains a titan of the industry, continuing to lead massive live arena tours and voice major cinematic releases.
