Some of his sound clips from ''Sonic Adventure 2'' were reused during races in ''[[Sonic Riders]]'' and ''[[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]]'' (though new phrases like Gear changes were recorded by [[Mike Pollock]]).
  
While his approach was more deep-voiced than Otsuka (His "Mwahahaha!" compared to Otsuka's "Ohohohoho!"), his take on Eggman was unique. By far, Bristow is arguably the most popular of Eggman's voice actors. Unfortunately, Bristow died January 15, 2005. It's sad that we'll no longer be able to hear his excellent work, and the community will really miss him.
