Sonic The Hedgehog Fans Want Ben Schwartz To Take Over As New Voice
Following news of Sonic the Hedgehog voice actor Roger Craig Smith's seeming departure from the [...]
A unified take would be nice!
prevnextSince #RogerCraigSmith is no longer voicing Sonic, I think @Sega should make Ben Schwartz the voice of Sonic across Film, TV, and Games!!

There is precedent for such a move.
prevnextBen Schwartz would work as Sonic pretty well. Jason Griffith was promoted to the games and it could be the case with Schwartz. I see his portrayal of Sonic as young and energetic but lacking the cockiness, but if he's the next voice, the games could add that aspect. I'm on board.

It would be a big deal for newer fans!
prevnextI hope the new voice actor for Sonic is Ben Schwartz so his voice is the same in the movies and the games.

The timing seems perfect, too.
prevnextRoger Craig Smith has stepped down as Sonic.
We know that there will be a new netflix sonic cartoon.
Ben Schwartz voiced sonic in the movie, has worked with Netflix and has starred in a lot of recent cartoons.

That would explain his passion for the role!
prevnextI just realized Ben Schwartz is probably the only Sonic voice actor who probably grew up with sonic!

Cost could be one hurdle.
prevnextI don't see Ben Schwartz being the new permanent voice of Sonic because I feel he would be way too expensive since he's a film actor. But I wouldn't mind it.

Some would prefer to see an older Sonic voice return, however!
