I have slightly revised my opinion, in that I can't decide between Kelsey Grammer and Stephen Fry for Cornelius' voice. So difficult.

Kelsey Grammer. If he dies, then Fry. Also, although Frasier is the classiest fictional character on television, Mr. Bear has him outclassed.

Stephen Fry is considerably more English than Kelsey Grammer, whose characters are pretty pompous but whose actual life is like a coked-up trainwreck, and the train was filled with Playboy Bunnies.
As Stephen Fry played Jeeves himself from Wodehouse, and Cornelius seems to be largely inspired by Wodehouse, the match is already made. I mean, Fry himself said his fucking vocal chords are practically made of tweed.

Ugh, no. The Frasier character is way too full of himself, and I would hate to see any of that bleed into Mr. Bear through Kelsey Grammer's voice. James Earl Jones all the way.

It is weird that you would go from Kelsey Grammer to James Earl Jones. I can't even imagine James Earl (awesome though he may be) speaking in a British accent. But wouldn't it be great, if in this fictional animated series James Earl Jones came on as a bunch of small-part characters? Imagine the voice of, say, Robert Johnson, or the guy on the phone that buys Ray's soul for a piano.

I think David Bowie would do a good job as RLS AKA TMWTBOHH*. Imagine this strip, with David Bowie's voice, all totally not being able to do the southern accent, but the amazing synth music in the background makes it amazing. Possibly.
*Is this an officially sanctioned acronym?

This is the other moment that takes Roast Beef from being one-note to being a more rounded character - his friends pull him out of an awesome depression and into being a part of the group. It's also the first time that we see Ray using his money - or, in this case, connections - to cheer up Roast Beef.
Also, Phillipe makes an awesome Woody.
