SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Will Be Voiced By PARKS AND REC Actor Ben Schwartz In The Paramount Movie
The actor that'll provide the voice for Sonic The Hedgehog in Paramount Pictures' live-action/CGI hybrid video game adaptation has finally been announced, and it's Parks and Recreation's Ben Schwartz...
Now that his supporting cast members have all been announced - including Jim Carrey as the villainous Doctor Robotnik - Variety has revealed who'll be voicing Sonic The Hedgehog in Paramount's upcoming live-action/CGI hybrid film.
Actor/comedian/director Ben Schwartz, who is best known for his hilarious guest appearances as Jean-Ralphio Saperstein on the sitcom Parks and Recreation, will bring the titular blue speedster to life on the big screen.
Plot details are sparse, but we so know that the Sega video game adaptation will see the super-fast Erinaceinae attempting to "stop Dr. Eggman from completing his plans for world domination." No big surprises there.
The movie will be helmed by first-time feature director Jeff Fowler, who is known for the 2005 Oscar-nominated short Gopher Broke. Neal H. Moritz will produce, with Deadpool director Tim Miller on board as an executive producer along with Toby Ascher.
Sonic the Hedgehog is set to spin into theaters Nov. 15, 2019.
