Is that Eddie narrating the new Meg Ryan rom-com?

The airport voice/narrator in this movie is credited as Hal Liggett, but the person's identity is still a mystery. Meg has said anything publicly and David Duchovny said he didn't know and that the narrators voice was added post production. Sounds like Eddie to me. Love to hear what folks here think.

    I hear what you are hearing, but I'm not sure that's him. Could be though.

    From 'What Happens Later' Review: Meg Ryan's Sparkling Rom-Com Return (variety.com)

    The announcer (voiced by Hal Liggett, a pseudonym for a yet-to-be-revealed actor) acts as a God-like voice booming from the PA system, while video boards, displaying double-sided commentary like “everything is pending” and “check your connections,” further hammer the script’s points home. And when it gets to the inevitable — a montage where the pair tool around the darkened empty terminals in a golf cart and dance to The Lighting Seeds’ “Pure” in a warmly lit hallway as snow falls softy outside — the charm factor is upped tremendously.

    Labeling him as a "performer" seems like another giveaway.  If he was an actor she would just say actor.

    Ed with a voice part in a rom-com sort of tracks, because “Sleeping By Myself” has major rom-com trailer music vibes.
