Career[]

Smith originally began his career as a stand-up comedian, performing for five years while at film school before getting into voice acting full time in 2004; his stand-up routines also helped him in his approach to his voice acting career.[3][4][5]

Smith's voice work has been called upon by companies such as Disney/Disney Television Animation, Cartoon Network, Xbox Game Studios, Sony, Wal-Mart, Baskin-Robbins, E! and TLC.[6][7]

Since 2007, he has been the narrator for Say Yes to the Dress.[8]

Smith became the third official voice of the Sega character Sonic the Hedgehog in the video game series of the same name beginning in 2010, replacing Jason Griffith.[9][10][11] Outside of the video games, he reprised the role as the character again in the animated spinoff television series Sonic Boom,[12] as well as in cameo roles in Wreck-It Ralph and its sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet. In January 2021, he revealed on his Twitter account that he would no longer be voicing the character.[13][14] But just four months later in May 2021, he announced his return.[15][16]

Smith also voices Ezio Auditore da Firenze from the Assassin's Creed series, Chris Redfield in the Resident Evil series, Hawkodile and Richard from Unikitty!, Captain America / Steve Rogers in several Marvel projects, Deidara in Naruto: Shippuden, Thomas and various other characters in Regular Show, Shinji Hirako in Bleach, Martin Reest in Monster, and Batman / Bruce Wayne in Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman Ninja, and Superman: Red Son. He also voiced Kyle Crane in Dying Light and Mirage in Apex Legends.[17]
