- Jason Griffith is an American voice actor. He is best known for his roles as the title character and Shadow the Hedgehog in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise 2003 to 2009, having first voiced the characters in the anime series Sonic X (2003) before doing the same in the games following Sega's decision to use 4Kids Entertainment (which handled the English dub of Sonic X) as its main dubbing studio for all Sonic games from Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) to Sonic and the Black Knight (2009). In 2020, Griffith reprised his role as Shadow in the fan-made audio series Sonic and Tails R (2020), with Ryan Drummond reprising his role as Sonic (having previously done so from 1999-2004) in the same series. Outside of the Sonic series, he is also known for voicing Usopp and Yasopp in the original dub of One Piece (1999), Atticus Rhodes in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (2008), various characters in Pokémon (1997), and (more recently) Snake in Vinland Saga (2019), in addition to rare live-action guest appearances in Blue Bloods (2010) and The Orville (2017).
