Actor Ben Schwartz discusses his return as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog in the latest installment of the franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. He also reflects on the enduring popularity of his role as Jean-Ralphio in the sitcom 'Parks and Recreation' and his upcoming film 'DNA'.
Who better to voice iconic speedster Sonic the Hedgehog than a quick-witted, fast talker like Ben Schwartz ? Building his career with mind-blowing improvisational comedy and scene-stealing roles in films like Renfield, lending his vocal talents to the Star Wars universe, and performing improv at Radio City and Carnegie Hall, now Schwartz is back in lightspeed fashion as the world’s favorite blue speed-dasher in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

SCHWARTZ: Oh, I think there was a time when all of a sudden everybody's kids knew Parks and Rec because it went on Netflix, and all of a sudden, it blew up. I wonder if it's still at that high. But there was a time when everybody would call me Jean-Ralphio, and then it kind of went away. Now, all of a sudden, I'm getting a lot of, “The worst!” all over the place. It is such a great show with a female lead who's a great person who's just trying to do well. And then I play a Muppet in it. It's very exciting, very exciting. I love the sho
