The voice sounds like actor George Takei, who portrayed Ensign Sulu.  But the man behind Geoff is actually voice actor Josh Robert Thompson, who has supplied other voices to the Late Late Show, including a spot-on Morgan Freeman.  Coincidentally, the real Morgan Freeman will be a guest on the LLS in early May.<br \/><br \/>Craig tweeted to the sidekick&#8217;s builder Grant Imahara:  <span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Geoff has developed the ability to mimic human voices. Right now he is  obsessed with revered gay actors but who isn&#8217;t  <\/span> To which Grant responded:  <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Oh  my! <\/span> And after some brief confusion that perhaps Takei himself might have been involved, Thompson tweeted the definitive answer:  <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">#RSA<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\" class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\"> If anyone  asks who does Geoff Petersen&#8217;s voice, just send &#8217;em my way. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\">Craig also sent out a tour-related tweet:  <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Hey Torontonians. Don&#8217;t freak about the Massey  hall gig being sold out on Sat There&#8217;s a late show @ 10.
