Roger Craig Smith (born August 11, 1975)[1] is a voice actor for Regular Show, known for providing the voices of Chris Redfield in Resident Evil, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ezio Auditore in Assassin's Creed and Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins.[2] On Regular Show, he voices mostly minor characters and occasional major characters in some episodes, but his prominent main role is playing Thomas, an intern at the park. A full list of his roles can be viewed below.
Early life
Roger Craig Smith was born in Orange County, California.[1] Growing up, he wanted to be a rock star,[3] before his first ventures into standup comedy.[4] He began attending Chapman University in 2001,[5][6] majoring in film and screenwriting, earning a degree in screenwriting in 2003,[5][6] while still doing standup in his free time.[3] In 2004, Smith's screenplay, Modesto Rules, was a semi-finalist the Nicholl Fellowships in a screenwriting competition. Out of 6,073 screenplays submitted, Smith's was one out of only 132 to make the semi-finals.[7] In his act, he claimed he did voices and characters, which attracted attention from people in the voiceover business. He started hearing less about his standup act and more about his voices and Smith decided: "Well, maybe I need to go bark up that [voice acting] tree."[4]
Career
Gaining an interest in the profession, he attended classes[4] at SoCal to hone his skills.[3] He eventually also attended an animation class to learn more about the art and was discovered by an agency, beginning his voice acting career.[4] Describing his first video game voiceover role, Smith recounts: "My very first video game project was recorded down in Tungsten, California. And it was Castle Shikigami 2, which I'm pretty sure when released went right into the bargain bin. And it was just a god awful voiceover for a video game. That was my very first video game voiceover job. And we were literally just taking a script and that hadn't even been translated properly; it was just directly translated without interpreting what the meaning behind the words was. And everything was just way wrong and disconnected and disjointed."[4]
