I'll share it with you: I was a little nervous about interviewing Ben Schwartz on camera, because he's a writer, actor, and performer with 20 years of experience, and I'm just a humble actor.
But there is something in common, and that is Sonic the Hedgehog. Ben Schwartz sounds in the big screen culture of the famous Sega massage, and I've spent many hours of my life drawing this famous hog. So when we sat down to talk with Schwartz about his new film, we directed him to a verse line that is a masterpiece of Sonic fan art.
We've also asked a host of other questions – as many as possible in our timeline. Check out the video above to learn about Sonic's favorite sounds, his deepest fears, his pizza ideas, his a lovely collaboration by Larry King, his favorite games, and much more. He simply divided things up considerably.
