In the weeks leading up to the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, comedian and actor Ben Schwartz sat down with Polygon to confront the shadows that lurk in every hedgehog.
In this, the third installment of the Polygon x Ben Schwartz sonic interview series, each question has its own more existentially challenging “shadow question.” Ben approaches them with the vigor and enthusiasm of a guy who is sometimes Sonic.
Ben talks about aging, grief, growing as a person, Jeff Fowler's directorial finesse, dream roles in Final Fantasy, search engine optimization, and who gets what in their chili dog. It also has some surprisingly late revelations about Sonic's sidekick, Miles “Tails” Prower.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which also stars Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Tika Sumpter and James Marsden, hits theaters on December 20. You can check out our full review here. And if you haven't, check out our previous installments:
