Even the most serious of actors have their fun side, and this side is most often revealed when they take on the roles of animated characters.

Such is the case with Benedict Cumberbatch ("Sherlock" on AXN and Smaug in "The Hobbit" films) and John Malkovich, the actor-director-producer who has been acting for almost 40 years and who has 87 credits as actor to his name. The two appear as the voices of Agent Classified (Cumberbatch) and Dr. Octavius Brine (Malkovich) in "The Penguins of Madagascar," which hits Philippine theaters on November 26.

"The Penguins of Madagascar" is DreamWorks' 3D animated feature starring Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private, the four super spy penguins who first appeared in the three "Madagascar" movies and stole the show. In their very own movie, they work with an animal welfare task force led by Agent Classified (Cumberbatch) and help him stop his biggest enemy, Dr. Octavius Brine (Malkovich), from destroying the world.

See Cumberbatch and Malkovich's light side in this one-minute one-on-one interview, where they test each other's knowledge of the animals whose voices they provide in the movie:

"The Penguins of Madagascar" opens in Philippine cinemas on November 26.
