You're right. I should have qualified. Generally speaking, the use of original actors is not an argument on its own.

However, in this particular case, in the context of proving the intent of the authors to set the movie in DWU and given the evidence already provided (e.g., interviews), I consider hiring Briggs as an additional (though surely not sufficient) evidence of their intent.

To be even more precise, hiring him to voice the Daleks is suggestive of the desire to keep continuity with the TV and audio DW stories. On the other hand, it seems pointless to do that if we assume the boy-playing-with-LEGO point of view.

Unfortunately, I suspect that Briggs' voice was also used in LEGO Dimensions, meaning that it provides no answer to the DWU within LEGO vs. DWU proper question.
