Sonic star Ben Schwartz answers our shadow questions
In the weeks before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, comedian and actor Ben Schwartz sat down with Polygon to confront the shadows that lurk in every hedgehog.
In this, the third installment of the Polygon x Ben Schwartz Sonic Interview Series, each question has its own, more existentially challenging “shadow question.” Ben tackles them with a vigor and enthusiasm fitting of a Guy Who Is Sonic Sometimes.
Ben talks about aging, hurting, growing as a person, Jeff Fowler’s directorial finesse, Final Fantasy dream roles, search engine optimization, and who gets what on their chili dog. He also has some startlingly late revelations about Sonic’s sidekick Miles “Tails” Prower.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which also stars Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, Tika Sumpter, and James Marsden hits theaters on Dec. 20. You can check out our full review right here. And if you haven’t, go watch our previous installments:
