David Humphrey is an American actor/comedian that played Frankie in the play of Forever Plaid. He is most well known for being the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog in the Sonic games. Many fans say that the tone of his voice fit Shadow's appearance and personality. He also played Thomas Jefferson in the play of 1776.
He was casted to play Shadow in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, by his Forever Plaid colleague Ryan Drummond, the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog at the time. Many Sonic fans were very grateful with his performance as Shadow. He would voice Shadow for the next few years in the Sonic games such as Sonic Heroes and Sonic Battle. However his time as Shadow was cut short when Sega decided that the voices on Sonic X and in the games should be the same starting with Shadow the Hedgehog (video game). Humphrey was replaced by Jason Griffith who also replaced Ryan Drummond as Sonic. Many fans criticized this decision saying that it was Humphrey's time to shine though some were grateful he was not cast in the game because of the mixed review ratings by game critics. Many fans have sent request to Sega for David Humphrey to voice Shadow once again.
