Ryan Drummond

Ryan Drummond (born January 10, 1973), an actor/comedian, is best known as the character Smudge in the San Diego, California production of the comedy Forever Plaid. He was also well known as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog in the popular Sega video game franchise. He did not, however, voice Sonic in the series Sonic X; that part was taken by another comic actor, Jason Anthony Griffith, because the dubbing company, 4Kids, does not like using many different voice actors and also due to Ryan's location (He didn't live in New York City,even though he offered to move there specifically for the part) which was where 4Kids' headquarters were set.). As of such, when Sega decided to make all the voices uniform across both the games and the TV show by using the 4Kids voice actors, Ryan and all the other voice actors he had worked with prior were dropped without any warning or explanation (much to the chagrin of Ryan's fans and Sonic fans in general).
