Ryan Drummond (Sonic the Hedgehog, Bring It On)
This week on Toon’d In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the electric and ever-animated Ryan Drummond! Beloved by fans around the world as the original voice of Sonic the Hedgehog in the iconic Sonic Adventure series, Ryan brings a whirlwind of energy, talent, and behind-the-scenes stories from his dynamic career in voiceover, theater, and beyond.
In this lively and nostalgic episode, Ryan opens up about stepping into the role of Sega’s blue blur at a pivotal moment in gaming history, what it was like bringing attitude and heart to one of pop culture’s most recognizable characters, and how his love of performing has taken him from sound booths to Broadway stages.
Jim and Ryan geek out over the evolution of Sonic, the challenges of voicing fast-paced characters, and the unique bond that forms between a voice actor and a global fanbase. With laughter, insight, and a few unexpected impressions, Ryan reminds us why voice actors are the unsung heroes behind our favorite characters—and why Sonic will always be more than just a game.
