Ben Stiller isn’t just a director and executive producer of Severance — he also had an uncredited voiceover cameo back in Season 1.

In a 2022 interview with ET Online, Severance stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman confirmed that Stiller voiced the animated version of Lumon founder Kier Eagan that congratulates Helly (Lower) for reaching quota in Season 1, episode 8, “What’s for Dinner?”

Stiller, for his part, has been more coy about his secret role in the show, telling What to Watch, “I don’t know if we’ve ever confirmed that I’m the voice of Kier Eagan; Lumon employee agreements are very airtight!”

But on the Jan. 15 episode of The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott, Stiller jokingly addressed his cameo again. He, along with co-host Scott and episode guest John Turturro, play the clip of animated Kier Eagan thanking Helly.

“In refining your macrodata file, you have brought glory to this company, and to me, Kier Eagan. I — I love you,” Kier says, before flying off into the sunset.

As soon as the clip finishes playing, Scott immediately prompts Stiller about his cameo. “So, Ben,” he said. “That voice sounds familiar.”

“Some guy…” added Turturro.

Stiller laughed it off, joking, “This is some actor that they hired to do the voice for the congratulatory animated video. Obviously an out-of-work actor who needed the gig… A guy who got a couple of callbacks for Severance but couldn’t get in.”

Later in the episode, Stiller praised Marc Geller, who plays live-action Kier Eagan. “He’s so much a part of the show, and so committed to the show,” he said. “He’s just great.”

Turturro agreed, adding: “I’m in the show and I saw [him] and I thought, ‘No wonder [Irving] was a believer.”

Severance Season 2 premieres Jan. 17 on Apple TV+, with a new episode every week.
