David Attenborough, a British broadcaster most famous for creating and narrating nature programs, such as Life on Earth, has a public reputation as a gentleman. He does not casually cut down people who seek his aid.
James Mielke, a producer for the video game design studio Limited Run Games, once attempted to enlist Attenborough as a voiceover artist for the game Jupiter & Mars. That’s an underwater, immersive VR experience, so Attenborough would be an ideal narrator.
Attenborough thanked Mielke for the invitation, but demurred. He doesn’t do fiction narration in order to maintain a specific public image. But he let Mielke down gently.
