Heroes - Kayvan Novak
Kayvan Novak - you might not know his name, but you'll recognise his voice, or variety of voices that is.
Kayvan has a background in such drama programmes as Holby City, Spooks and Family Affairs, but really made it big when lending his array of vocals to Fonejacker, the show that started life as a Comedy Lab in 2006 and went on to become a cult sensation when the first series of the show was broadcast.
Kayvan plays the Fonejacker, the balaclava clad man addicted to prank calling who takes on various guises to satisfy his need to scam and confuse anyone at the end of a phone line.
Using animation, stills and recorded footage of the prank victims, Fonejacker also takes transcripts of calls, treats them as film scripts and gives them the Hollywood treatment.
It achieved the highest ratings ever for a comedy series when it was first aired on E4 and even won a BAFTA award for best comedy programme.
The show should be making a second series return later this year, meanwhile you can catch Kayvan providing an assortment of voiceovers for XBOX games, and you can also see him in the award-winning film Syriana.
