Sega Rehire Ryan Drummond as Sonic's Voice Actor for Project Sonic 2017

The Issue

     From 1998 to 2004, Ryan Drummond has been voicing our favorite and well known "blue blur," Sonic the Hedgehog. Ever since then, he has grown a fanbase who loved this talented voice actor. However, after Mr. Drummond last voiced Sonic in Sonic Heroes, something happened. SEGA, without notifying him, replaced him with a new voice actor from the Sonic X anime. Here is Ryan's response to the subject and I quote   

        "4Kids was really inconsiderate and cast [the North American version of Sonic X] without me, not caring about what the fans thought or about product continuity. Well, all of a sudden, Sega decided that product continuity WAS important to them starting with this new Shadow game. So, WITHOUT TELLING ME, they have *replaced* me as the voice of Sonic with the fella who does Sonic’s voice for the Sonic X show. I was only told after it happened. My Sega contact told me that they thought it would be a good idea that from now on that Sonic’s voice remain the same in the game and the non-Sega cartoon series. So after FIVE YEARS of providing the voice of Sonic, I was let go without a word or an explanation (until I went looking for one)."

     SEGA, we will never forget what you did back then. That is when we take action. Sega, we want you to bring Ryan Drummond back as a voice actor for Sonic for Project Sonic 2017. You do NOT have to get rid of Roger Craig Smith, just for this game, have Mr. Drummond reprise his role as the one and only "blue blur." OR you can have him play the "third" Sonic from an era he voiced him in.This would not only make us fans joyfully happy, but it will make Ryan happy as well. We are not doing this for us, we are doing this for Ryan Drummond.

So overall SEGA, for our sake, and most importantly Mr. Drummond's sake, have him reprise his role for Project Sonic 2017.
