Question: In the adverts, who voices the meerkat Aleksandr Orlov?

Answer: The voice of Aleksandr Orlov who appears in the popular Compare the Meerkat ads is provided by Simon Greenall.

The British actor is probably most recognizable for appearing on Steve Coogan’s series ‘I’m Alan Partridge’ where he plays the hard to understand Geordie, Michael.

Greenall has also appeared in many other TV series over the years including ‘Harry Enfield and Chums’, ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Time Gentleman Please’. He also provides the voices for many of the characters in the kids cartoon ‘The Mr Men Show’.

Compare the Meerkat is a clever advertising campaign which first launched in the UK in 2009 to promote the insurance comparison website Compare The Market.
