- Is Sonic real, can Sonic fly, and is Sonic his real name? All that and more answered by the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, Roger Craig Smith.
Roger Craig Smith was the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog from 2010 to 2021. He lent his vocal talents to Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations, Sonic Boom, and Sonic Forces among many other titles.
In this video, we decided to take to the internet to figure out what the people want to know most about him and Sonic. Watch as we ask Roger the most searched questions about the blue blur to see what he had to say, and find out how well he knows the character himself.
But you've probably also heard his voice in more than just Sonic games. Roger Craig Smith is prolific and is also the voice of a bunch of other iconic video game characters including Ezio Auditore da Firenze from the Assassin’s Creed series, Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins, and Mirage in Apex Legends. These performances are iconic in their own right, and if you want to see Roger break down those roles you can check out the other video we did with him here: • From Sonic To Batman: ...

I love how he refused to answer who’s sonic gf. Wise man, wise
Amy sonic girlfriend
The right way to answer that lol
To be fair, Sally Acorn was officially considered his GF but to the games, she’s noncanon.
@@Supersteam09 yeah I understand that but most people care to know more about game cannon because of how inconsistent stories, lore and character are
@@pugman9672 In terms of game canon, the only character that was close enough to being Sonic’s GF was Elise. Yup, that princess of Solaris but since the game was rewritten, all that happened on another timeline.
“Where does Sonic live?”

He literally still sounds like Sonic...but just....20 years old.
30 you mean?
@@irembal6011 ...yea. I guess so. Just Sonic, but LOTS older
@@yourcompadreinfinity2008 in his normal voice yea
Well makes sense, you cant modify your voice that much
@@aymanaboufarise4346 tell that to Tom Kenny
The fact he knows about sonamy, sonadow and other sonic ships shows the mans dedicated to his role (or was)
I mean it doesn't really show anything, he clearly ain't played the adventure games is one thing the video shows
He even was the ONLY Sonic VA that actually dressed up as the character itself. Neither Ryan or Jason did that before.
@@KookieStar "Oops, one too many"
Good news, he’s back
He never mentioned SonAdow 🤣. He only mentioned SonAmy LOL.
“Larry, it’s just Larry.”
The Archie comics lied to me.
Archie comic lied to all of us :(
@@nillathekaiju maybe he is actually named Sonic, but really maybe not. Tails isn't a real name, it's a nickname. His name is Miles Prower. So maybe "Sonic" it's just a nickname too.
@@GuilFernandes lol
@Amy Rose I don't think they were canon in the first place. They did their own thing from the start.
Archie comics arent canon~~~ but neither is larry i think 😂😂😂😂
Lol it’s like roger said “Nice try Sonamy fans you ain’t gonna get me like that” not answering that question

@@smoothie7362 na
@@smoothie7362 Agreed. Roger's voice is the first thing that pops into my head whenever I think of Sonic, and his work is absolutely legendary, especially in the Boom cartoon.
@@thepotatoking13 to be honest it felt like he really got the hang of Sonics Voice In Boom and That Team Sonic Racing interview thing.
" Sonic can't stop time "
Sonic adventure 2:
Time break,choas control,sonic CD:
@Pietro Mascagni Time break doesn’t require help. And neither does his speed. Sonic can stop time by running.
@Pietro Mascagni No actually he does. He does stop time and even then Shadow sues chaos control and yet people say he can stop time even tho he uses external help.
Multiplayer mode, don't think it's canon.
It is actually
This made me appreciate Roger a lot more.
Same. Now I miss him..
Honestly I didn't really liked his Sonic voice, it was too low-pitched and "old". However I think he's a fantastic VA, and he seem to put a lot of love into his Sonic role.

@@soaringstars314 how do you miss him? He never left
@@LilXancheX that was before he came back lol
The moment you realize Sonic did the "naruto run" first in 1993
Sonic did the Naruto run in Sonic CD. Looked even better then too.
@@jimmy1929 yes, while a lot of anime start out as manga, the Naruto manga came out in 1999 which is after Sonic CD came out.
@GHZ J2691 hmm... I'm not sure. I always loved the original dragon ball.
I guess I'll have to check.
@GHZ J2691 no, and if he did he only had his arms out sideways
@GHZ J2691 That's different. Kid Goku just runs with balled fists out to his sides, whereas the "Naruto run" is leaning forward with open palmed arms out behind you.
Now people are gonna be confused when I say Larry is my favorite Hedgehog.

Hm, thought it was Olgilvie
I love the profile picture. Gadget is an underrated Sonic Character.
@@Zekken_The_Lodestar thank you! I drew this one. Gadget is the best.
"how do you draw sonic the hedgehog?"

Thank you Roger. For being the best Sonic Voice Actor.
Debatable. I’d say Jason Griffith was the best, but Roger was an excellent voice actor for this era of sonic
@@slyp5409 Of course it's debatable. I was just putting up my opinion. Never got to know Jason as Sonic but I can see why people love him as Sonic.
@@driplightyear125 I know, of course we are entitled to our opinion. Just thought I’d share mine.
@@slyp5409 of course, of course. We share each of our opinions. That's what the world is about, isn’t it?.
You believe Jason’s Sonic is better.
I believe Roger’s Sonic is better. (Him as Sonic Boom is the best Sonic voice acting in my opinion)
Debatable

Question: Where does Sonic live?
Roger: WHEREVER Sonic wants!
Me: Spoken like the true blue blur.
What kind of questions are these lmao
Oh well, at least we get to see Roger
If they where real questions then they would be more like the sonamy one so I think we dodged a bullet there.
I wud asque were did he gat his powers
Heh
@@pugman9672 I’m a sonamy fan but I hadn’t seen anyone dodge it so good lmao
Question 21: what do sonic feet look like😳😳😳😳
I don’t know why I expected real answers.
Most answers are real
Only some answers are wrong like he can actually stop time (he does that in Sonic Movie) and his real name is Maurice but its ok
@@shivansh3387 Actually thats not stopping time. Time is simply too slow for sonic. Although Sonic can use a natural move called "Time Stop" in SA2
@@undeadbatman9762 I meant to say that he can use Chaos Control to stop time for some time as Super Sonic. It is called Chaos Control and not Time Stop
@@shivansh3387 You referenced the movie which has sonic moving while time seems to be slowed down to a T. Time Stop is an ability that Sonic had in SA2.
Roger seems like such a funny guy, I don’t know why there was so much controversy over him voicing Sonic. He seems perfect for the role!
It's mostly on how sonic was in the 2010s

Sonic 2 is being filmed now, Roger.
This was probably recorded before it started
I don't know what I'm more surprised about.
The fact that he's leaving his role as a voice actor to play Sonic.
Or the fact that out of 20 questions about Sonic, only ONE question linked to SonAmy.
best part is over the time as the sonic VA he has shown more liking into the Sonadow ship then any other XD
The moment the Sonamy question came, I love how he avoids talking about it, and pretty much gets shy about it. Roger is such a dork lol 😂💕
Also... Sonic's real name is Nicky Palouzer in the 1990 Manga and in Archie Comics is Maurice Olgilvie.
6:32 I KNEW IT! GODDAMN IT, I KNEW IT! I KNEW THE MARIO VS SONIC QUESTION WAS THERE! I knew he was gonna choose Sonic lmao xD
But in all seriousness, as fan of both, I can relate. I've won against Mario mains when I use Sonic and when it comes to Sonic mains, I win with Mario. It's seriously a weird case and yet I love it lmao. But yeah, I get why Roger choose Sonic in this one.
Phew… I Thought Someone Was Supposed To Say "F-Word You All Mario Fans!" In This Timeline! But As A Huge Fan Of Mario And Sonic, I'd Say That You Look A Kind Sonic Fan :)
I won't be surprised if Sonics name was actually Larry. XD
Technically sonics real name is Olgilvie Maurice Hedgehog
@@Toaster_Toast I know that. But I just think it would have been funnier if it was just Larry. .w.
@@Toaster_Toast I will take Larry any day over THAT name.
@@johnathonturner2279 I agree with you
@@Toaster_Toast thx
I just love how he responds not very seriously and jokingly. Btw can we make Larry the Hedgehog canon?
Always has been.
Because Sonic's just a meme to most people, including his own (former) VA
Well roger was a stand up comedian before becoming a voice actor and did a lot of joking around on the extra life streams
Sonic voice actor now or not, you gotta love this guy
Roger was quite the VA. Sorry for the stupid people who can’t recognize talent.
He's my favorite Sonic by far and his work as Ezio is legendary.
They are entitled to there opinion
His an amazing voice actor. Just... not my ideal sonic.
don't blame the VA for stupid plot in meta era
@@filipz7181 Exactly! It’s not his fault he was screwed over.
I actually love Roger as Sonic and think he’s the definitive English voice of the character.
I love this man's humor 😂
I love that the last questions clip was the game grumps losing it at the picture
Colleen should do a video like this where she answers questions about Tails! Same with Mike Pollock/ Eggman!
Just hope they don't show the announcement
Now I want to see Roger and Charles Martinet play Smash Bros. as their characters, IN character!
5:32
Love how he denied the SonAmy fans.
Yep. SonAmy unfortunately was never meant to be.
@@cherry_mania yur response is music to my ears😩😌
@@YungKenKanekiYT yep. thanks btw
@@cherry_mania yur welcome
When Sonic's voice actor for 10 years, DON'T know the actual answer to most of the questions
who do you think he is? the sonic loremaster, cybershell?
He is no match for the sonic's lore master, with his ultimate swearing abilities, and being able to hide for three FUCKING YEARS, CYBERSHELLLLLLL.
Can ya blame him though? Sega's been screwing up the lore Sonic games for quite a while now
@C-Joestar that was only in the comics
@C-Joestar silver is not only in the comics.
6:57 When he said “his name is just Sonic the Hedgehog,” i said, “no, his name is Just Larry.”
Person who asked this question: whats Sonics number
Roger: 867-530NI-EY-INE
Love that part XD
Even after stepping down as the voice of Sonic, Roger is still an active community member. Mad respect to this man.
He probably can’t escape a black hole because in sonic generations he got sucked into one
He has escaped other black holes like in Sonic Rush
And in sonic colors
And Roger said he can
He did in lost word where he literally survived a supernova turned black hole and I got back from it.
Your telling a hedgehog that can time travel by running can’t outrun a black hole?
@@pinklotus7429 no. In colors he couldn't escape the black hole... But he could take a nap in it sooo...
6:50 Makes sense since Sonic's a Video-Game/Cartoon God.
7:20 they are talking about when there was a picture of Sonic and Shadow together in Shadow The Hedgehog
Oh Roger Craig Smith I want to thank you for being the voice actor of Sonic for over 10 years 💙🦔I wish you all the best in your future as a Former voice actor
Hes bac3
He's now voicing sonic again
Roger has such dad energy. Also I think I’m playing too much Apex Legends since I’m only seeing Mirage. Please help me!
This just made me realize Sonic’s never done chaos control or time stop since Roger voiced him
5:25
If this was recorded more recently:
"That's a good question! ...not me, lol!"
Gotta say whoever edited this seems to be a big Sonic fan, awesome job!
Sorry for the late reply, I’m the person who edited this video and I appreciate you saying that!

3 days isn't exactly "late" but anyway, you're very welcome! =D
3:05 Sonic's "real name" is "Larry"?! 😲 There's no way that can be right!!
It isn't. His real name is canonically Maurice
@@samueld8413 Even if his real name is Maurice or not. I think his original name "Sonic" is better than those other names he was given.
@@samueld8413 that's just some archie bs
it’s olgilvie
@@donaldson9410 I’m going to spill my Sonic knowledge, that’s his middle name
Thank you for voicing Sonic the hedgehog for a decade! I wish good luck on your next projects!
Seeing you answering the top 20 most searched sonic questions was entertaining! J would like to see a sequel video with you answering the top 20 least sonic questions as well!
He is just too perfect, let him voice Sonic forever
Yep. He’s my favorite Sonic voice actor.
Also apparently Sonic's real name is Maurice Wentworth Hedgehog atleast in the comic's no wonder he goes by sonic
Olgilvie Maurice Hedgehog
Roger: What's your real name?
Sonic: um...... It's Sonic the Hedgehog.
When I hear the name Roger Craig Smith. I think of Chris Redfield. I love how he's the voice of 2 of my beloved gaming characters.😋😍
I thought I'm the only one who thinks that
I think of Batman
@@safwanmannaa3527 No mate, you are definitely not the only one. I knew him first from Resident Evil 5 then he got the roll for sonic in Generations I believe. That's how I knew he was one of my favorite voice actors.
2:48 and for me will forever be the best sonic voice actor. I love them all but he plays him so well.
This is why I love roger the most, I hear him for like 2 seconds and I hear Sonic, he just throws me into the immersive world of Sonic The Hedgehog.
Canonically, Sonic is 15. Also the "Why does the president have a picture of Sonic on his desk" thing is from the Shadow the Hedgehog game.
Godspeed Mr. Smith, thank you for giving my childhood hero a voice. You good sir are a legend
I love that fourth wall break.
Tails: “Roger.”
Knuckles: “Roger? Who’s Roger?”
Sonic: “He’s talking to me.”
3:40 Sonic's birthday is on June 23 which is the day of the original Sonic the Hedgehog video game came out and the day Sonic made his debut/first appearance on the first Sonic game.
Hes easily my favorite voice actor. Props to him
This is some next-level shitposting right here.

Yuck 🤮
Love Roger! Really gonna miss him, but it was just his time. Hopefully he finds more happiness in his future! ☺
Ah yes. The good ol’ days of playing Larry Adventure, Larry Adventure 2, Larry Heroes, Larry Unleashed, and Larry Colors. You may think I forgot Larry 06 but I said “the good o’l days.”
No.. Sonic can't outrun a black hole. Did we all forget Terminal Velocity from Sonic Colors? After defeating Eggman? Lol
He did outrun it for at least 30 seconds. The thing kept expanding so considering that and the suction force, it’s pretty impressive.
@@Supersteam09 do be fair, it might be confirmed that to escape a black hole one needs to move faster than light (something sonic has done before) so there is a possibility that sonic can outrun a black hole.
@@prorocco6449 I strongly believe he’s faster than light. Most people may not know it but he’s already capable of moving at light speed. If he can do just that, there’s no reason to doubt he can’t surpass it. Plus he did catch the Cyan Wisp and that can go at light speed.
Oh boy downplay time I guess. Sonic can time travel by running fast enough, says light speed is a joke to him, dimensional travel, escaping chaos control and outrunning it.
Sonic outran the gravitational pull of the black hole which is why he was able to run away from it at all. He however was not able to outrun the expansion of the black hole
2:28 laughs in every classic sonic game
Time Travel. Sonic CD and 06 would like to talk to you
Yep
3:14 I thought it was Maurice.
Roger:Don't know what you're talking about(regarding Sonic's Girlfriend)
Also Roger: mentions Sonamy
this video was amazing start to finish
Loved this video. I don't think the flash named himself. I think that's what people called him and it stuck.
I really want to see this guy have a chat with Charles Martinet
“Can Sonic time travel?”
*Forgets Sonic CD exists*
@7:40 I love how GameSpot acknowledged about Shadow The Hedgehog fandub existing😂😂
that's not the shadow the hedgehog fandub, it's a clip of people playing shadow the hedgehog. if it were the shadow the hedgehog fandub, gamespot would be time travelers because this came out in 2021 and the shadow fandub came out in 2022
He did escape a black hole in Sonic Forces. Null Space.
He outran multiple black holes and time traveled.
End of Colors
In forces it is not a black hole null space is a dimension,he ran so fast he created a portal through dimensions.
There was also Lost World 3ds.
InfernoEarth where? If it’s past Sky Road Zone 2 then I would not know.
"Who can win a fight sonic or mario? Come on..COME ON INTERNET!"
Me: YE!!!! COME ONE INTERNET!!
Thanks for being with us for 10 years
If you go by old comic lore, Sonic’s real name is “Sonic Maurice Hedgehog” xD
11 years voicing the Blue Blur. Nice work, Roger.
I love his voice 🥰
Thank you Roger. Love you so much!
“Can sonic escape a black hole”
Roger craig smith: Yeah, he can
Sonic colours: standing there in depression
1:16
Fun fact: He actually could stop time in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2 player mode.
And Time Break
Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog. That's his real name. Accept it-
Roger seems like the nicest fella
You’re an amazing voice actor Roger
Wow. When I was little and still read the Archie comics, I misremembered Sonic's real name (Maurice) as Laurence, and when I told my brother in a conversation, he was like 'Oh, so his name's Larry, then?'
From then on I called Sonic Larry. It wasn't until several years later, I realized I was mistaken... Or so I thought. Thank you, Roger Craig Smith; both for your decade long performance as Sonic and, more importantly, proving that I wasn't wrong. 😏
Thank you Roger, you were my childhood ❤️
i never understood the Roger joke in Boom until now
1:03 lol in the first sonic game Roger voiced they had that scenario
1:50 EvEn WiThOuT wInGs I cAn StIlL fLy
Yeah he can. Using the ever so broken move: boost
Btw before boost fans flame me I do not hate boost I actually like it.
You can tell the person who edited this is a adventure fan
The good ol' days of the best 3D Sonic games until Unleashed...
Surreal that I just met this man in Miami recently and my goodness, he is a treat to talk to. That playful snark he has. But overall really nice. The kind of guy I wanna befriend and have awesome convos over lunch or something!
You mad lads did it with the Game Grumps clip.
i love when they asked if he can phase through walls he gave a *NO* and moved on
7:40 The best part of the video lol.
My favorite sonic voice actor so far.
This guy voice acted in some pretty great games (colours and generations), and I’d argue lost world aswell personally. Also sonic boom show which was pretty good too. Not to mention his many other voice acting endeavours, he is truly a most impressive fellow.
