Roger Craig Smith | Character Behind the Character

In the latest edition of GAMINGtruth's Character Behind the Character, we interview Roger Craig Smith.

Smith, 37, broke into the video game voice-over scene in the late '90s. However, one of his first major roles came in 2004 when he took the role of Chris Redfield in Resident Evil: Outbreak - File #2.

He has also provided the voice of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, as well as SEGA's famous blue mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog.

He seems like he is making such a huge impact in the industry. More of a splash. Voice acting gives shape to characters, it's just weird that body stature is starting to play a role. Really, really, really weird.

I've actually heard about physical ability taking a role in modern-day voice acting. It was one of the reasons Ubisoft used to explain why it won't bring back Michael Ironside to voice Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell Blacklist. The younger voice actor, Eric Johnson, is more capable of motion capture.

Roger Craig Smith Reveals Sonic Departure Was His Decision, "It's Time To Be Done"

From Sonic Stadium: "Roger Craig Smith has revealed that he chose to step away from voicing Sonic the Hedgehog, and was not a result of SEGA decision-making.

In an interview with Voices from Krypton, the voice actor – whose other roles have ranged from Batman to Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio Auditore to Bugsnax’s Snorpy Fizzlebean – said that he felt he had naturally given as much as he could to SEGA’s blue-blur mascot. The timing simply felt right for him to step away and explore new roles, he suggested."

Unhappy with $$$, probably. Won't judge.

It always comes down to money. Sonic games are not the only medium hes in anymore and I would bet Roger not being given a shot at voicing the movie was a factor. Got to wonder what Sonic Team is working on these days....the last legit Sonic game was Forces and it certainly wasn't a bit hit.

Just watched the Sonic movie and have to say, it was not awful. My daughter loved it.

Jim Carrey was great in that movie.
