Did you know Sonic voice actor Roger Craig Smith narrates TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress?
Voice actors tend to be some of the most versatile people in the gaming industry, and you never know where you might hear one of them turn up. With that in mind, here’s a fun fact that many Sonic fans may or may not have been aware of: Sonic’s voice actor, Roger Craig Smith, has held another longtime job, that of narrator for the TLC bridal reality show, Say Yes to the Dress.
This news isn’t exactly a secret, as Smith has been doing the job since 2007, but it’s definitely not widely discussed. For most gamers, a show like this isn’t somewhere you’d expect to hear the voice of Sonic (and the overlap between Sonic fans and Say Yes to the Dress viewers is most likely not enormous). Since it’s the weekend, we thought we’d share this little tidbit just for fun in case many of you (like us) weren’t aware of it!
In addition to his narration work on Say Yes to the Dress, Craig Smith narrated two seasons of the reality cooking show Hell’s Kitchen. Of course, he’s also the voice behind other memorable video game characters like Resident Evil’s Chris Redfield and Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio. Who would’ve thought, he’d also be solely recognized as the voice of bridal narration by millions of TLC viewers?
For reference, check out a clip from Say Yes to the Dress below, and you too can imagine Sonic the Hedgehog chatting with you about wedding dresses.
