Rheneas in The TV Series
Rheneas was introduced in Season 4 of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. He is a minor character, and he only spoke in one episode of the 1995 series. He played small roles in Seasons 5 and 6, and had two major roles in Season 7.
When Rheneas returned to the series in 2005 after an absence in Season 8, he was depicted with a more childlike attitude. His first major role of the new series, Rheneas and the Dinosaur featured him and Skarloey having a dispute when Rheneas gets to pull a dinosaur skeleton, but can't manage on his own. It should also be noted that Skarloey and Rheneas have never been referred to as brothers in the TV adaptation, being called "friends" in the more recent episodes.
In the Japanese version of Seasons 4-7, Rheneas was voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu. His new voice actor in Season 9 is Daiki Nakamura.
From Spring 2012 onwards, Rheneas is now currently voiced by Ben Small (UK/US) (who also voices Thomas and Toby) in the CGI version of the series on both sides of the atlantic, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
