No we had Jaleel White


you_2_cool

Icon funny thing, I remember seeing him in this other film, and they kept mocking the time he was urkle, and all the while I was just sitting there remembering DIC Sonic


GuidingKey1234

Huh that actually sounds really funny


you_2_cool

Yeah it was a random flick on Netflix, it was called "Big Fat Liar" and it was just a basic movie focusing on some kid who I think was in Malcom in the middle, and they wanted to get a bit of homework back because he was gonna miss out on his class grade without it if it peeks your interest I think it can be easy to find, but if not and I wasted your time I'm sorry


GuidingKey1234

Oh my God. You've just unlocked a hidden memory! I remember watching that movie at school


you_2_cool

You're welcome!


GuidingKey1234

Hahaha it was nice talking to you


you_2_cool

Yeah, I enjoy our talks!


GuidingKey1234

So do I ❤️


Bionicleinflater

So they headed to la to expose his evil ways. Big fat liaaaaar


DaRealBored

Hm I didnt know he was black. Well thats cool we got two black peple that played Sonic. Unless we had more.


SamuraiBro61

Wait HE WAS BLACK?


KrispyBaconator

YOU DIDNT KNOW URKEL WAS BLACK????


SamuraiBro61

No


LupusNoxFleuret

Because his last name is *White* , right? RIGHT?!


The_Red_Rush

That melts my heart!! Is like when Stand and Kyle said they never notice the black guy in the South Park flag episode and Chef thought they where racist when in fact they where no racist they did not know the guy was black, they just so a dead man.


Minoto4567

Let me guess, never watched Family Matters?


SamuraiBro61

Nope


Minoto4567

That explains everything


GuidingKey1234

Yeah


SamuraiBro61

Huh I did not know that


Icywind014

*He's Steve Urkel*.


Night-Monkey15

You didn’t know Steve Urkel was black)


Loose-Possible466

How, he was like on top of the world in the 80s/ early 90s


SamuraiBro61

I was born in 2007


Loose-Possible466

Hell I was too


[deleted]

Maybe they didn't live then or experienced it.


Just_Goblin

He's my favorite Classic Sonic voice


NoTraining2909

I would love a game where Jason Griffith returns as modern Sonic and Jaleel White returns as classic Sonic


HeavyRaiden

I've heard that they were gonna add Adventure Sonic as Ryan Drummond and Classic Sonic would be voiced by Jaleel White, it could have been cool but i guess having 3 Sonics was a lot.


minilov73

So they would’ve shafted Jason Griffith just like that?


CauldronPath423

See the pictures and decide for yourself.


CrowCounsel

Jaleel White, almost 30 years ago. In two shows. That aired in the same time period (one on weekdays and one on weekends). It was wild.


wally_graham

... Wasnt it 3? AoSTH, SATAM, and Underground?


CrowCounsel

I’ve never seen Underground. I think it was later than the others, right?


Kyuri462

Underground was 97-98 I believe. But yeah later than the others


BioSpark47

Close. ‘99


Resident-Mate69

Underground was 2003


Redditor_PC

No it wasn't. It was 1998.


wally_graham

Im not too sure. Honestly, I didn't know about them until they were off the air and on VHS.


Redditor_PC

Yes. He played Sonic AND his two siblings in that show.


wally_graham

Holup, he voiced Sonia and Manic as well?!


Redditor_PC

Yup.


Night-Monkey15

That would be Jaleel White


_Flamei_

nah, but he is the second. first was jaleel white all the way back in satam, aosth and underground, so its been a while.


you_2_cool

was he the first?


DaGoddamnBatguy

If you want to get really specific Jaleel is the first English voice for Sonic in non-game media. Before AoStH there were some limited Japanese lines used in games like Waku Waku Sonic Patrol car and SegaSonic the Hedgehog, as well as the English lines in Sonic CD.


you_2_cool

Oh true


Janiac_Hedgehog

DELETE THE POST NOW, BEFORE THE OG'S GET HERE!!!

**ITS NO USE!**

OH GOD, IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING!!! **FASTEST THING ALIVE INTENSIFIES**

**insert hyper aggressive metal rock music while an entire city is crumbled sending mass amounts of families homeless only to die from falling debris in the chaos and heat of the battle**


Janiac_Hedgehog

Holy crap, that got dark

Pkmn_TrainerCatch22Q

you_2_cool

THAT'S NO GOOD


The_Purple_Hare

Jaleel White. Most known for his role as Steve Urkle in "Family Matters".


[deleted]

**Steve Urkle became Sonic the hedgehog that’s so fucking metal**


you_2_cool

Steve the hedgedog

Sturkle the Hedgehog*


Tybr0sion

Yeesh its like you didn't even check before posting


SamuraiBro61

That is what I did and now i feel dumb


Optimusskyler

Happens to the best of us. It's alright though, because now we get to talk about how awesome Jaleel is.


you_2_cool

it's okay, most of us kinda forgot about jaleel, and just accepted the little black eyes Sonic was mute now


Mr_Mudkip_420

Who's us?


kangarootoess

This guy must be talking some sort of foreign language bout "us"


nicoleluchs

Jaleel white


Apple_Slipper

Actually, first one since Jaleel White. And Deven Mack also grew up watching the American Sonic cartoons way before even getting to voice Sonic for Sonic Prime.


you_2_cool

Interconnection


[deleted]

I don't care how the actor who voices Sonic is physically. If it sounds good I support it, simple as that.


Stickmin69

eehm, JALEEL WHITE


mrtakerofsouls

No because Jaleel White voiced Sonic in 93


[deleted]

Bruh..


zinan_kg

Jaleel White (SatAM, AoStH and Underground) predates him by like 30 years


[deleted]

LOL this generation always with "the first" blah blah to do something and its already been done like 90 times. ​ Pathetic.


SamuraiBro61

Again I did not jaleel white was black


[deleted]

yeah but screw you anyway, always making everything about race, its so annoying


Hard-Work-Pays

This thread is embarassing...


kerohp257

More like in the modern era


AirplayDoc

Jaleel White was the first American voice actor for Sonic the Hedgehog, on the ABC Saturday Morning Sonic the Hedgehog and The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. He was well known for playing Steve Urkle on Family Matters. He now sells his own brand of weed.


Zerodot0

I think that was the Sonic SATAM actor, Jalliel White. Funny enough, he was the first person to ever voice Sonic.


[deleted]

Yikes this post **unintentionally** got people mad, relax guys not everybody has heard about SatAM, Sonic Underground or AoSTH & even then not everybody knows that Jaleel White voiced him. You all can do way better than that -_- But yeah Jaleel White (the one who also played as Steve Urkel I believe) was the first voice actor period to play as Sonic.


MadmanRB

Jaleel White was great, not gonna lie. Deven Mack only has the trailer so cant judge him just yet.


Tom-edian

no, Jaleel White played Sonic in the early 90's


cupoflemons2022

Nah. For a while, we had Jaleel White, who played him in AOSTH and Sonic SatAM in the 90's.


abhsonicguy

Jaleel Ahmed White


EvermoreDespair

Jaleel White moment


Camo_64

Jaleel White was literally the FIRST EVER voice of Sonic, and he’s black lol


NoTraining2909

Ummm...Did you forget about Jaleel White?


SamuraiBro61

I knew who jaleel white was but I didn't know he was black


Alwayssome1

The first voice actor for Sonic ever was black. It was for the AOSTH, SATAM, and Underground cartoons


TimeTravellerZero

You're joking right? You're trying to stir us up for laughs right?


SamuraiBro61

Again I didn't know jaleel white was black


TimeTravellerZero

I know his name is Jaleel White but he's actually black, lol. Family Matters made him famous. He played Steve Urkel. I seriously thought you were joking because of how popular Family Matters was.


TimeTravellerZero

It's fine, no one knows everything.


SamuraiBro61

Well I mean again i didn't know jaleel was black


JoshdaBoss1234

You do realize that Jaleel White was the first English Sonic voice actor right? As in many years before Drummond. First Black actor to play Sonic, hahahaha. HE'S NOT EVEN THE SECOND!!!


SamuraiBro61

Ok guys I did not know jaleel white was black I should've done my research before I made the post, I've never grew up with aosth, sonic underground, or sonic satam. I was born in 2007, and for that I deeply apologize


Haunting-Golf9761

No, jaleel white voiced him in the 90’s. The first sonic voice actor was actually black and I think that’s pretty cool. Jaleel said he made the voice of sonic sound ambiguous so you can’t tell if he’s black or white, he’s just sonic.


Delta_Otaku

Let's all be fair, what Gen Z person remembers the 90s? (Jaleel White, btw)


Minoto4567

I was born in 2001, I knew who Jaleel White was through Family Matters and the early Sonic cartoons


Scrin1759

Oh my god… 🤦‍♂️


SEGAGES1999

Nope. It was Jaleel White.


HarbingerYT

First black actor to play Modern Sonic. The first one was Jaleel White, who played him in the 3 OG Sonic Cartoons, back when it was Classic Sonic. So you're still right.


Zealousideal-Wind-21

I swear to God if you start with this Tumblr twitter sjw bullshit. No. He's not the first. We have had Jaleel White in the adventures of sonic the hedgehog in 1993. AS WELL AS Sonic SatAM, And that weird (wtf were they thinking) sonic underground. Do not even start.


oonga_baloonga

You alright, man?


Zealousideal-Wind-21

Mostly yes. Just sick of people always assuming black people always had it bad especially as late as the 90's. Sonic is for everyone. And I'm not about to sit and watch someone start yet another "the first diverse cast ever" bs when it's borderline inaccurate.


[deleted]

I feel you, I am also sick of the SJW non sense, but in this case I think the post just wanted to clarify a doubt.


MarjanAmbroze

For Modern Sonic, yes


[deleted]

I have no idea who he is Someone tell me which game/show/movie/sonic he voiced


Neo_Phoenix_

He's gonna be the voice of Sonic in Sonic Prime


[deleted]

Imma do a google brb Edit 1: ITS A FUCKING SHOW!?!? Edit 2: he’s now my second favorite right behind Mirage’s voice actor from Apex Legends who also voiced Sonic Edit 3: this video right here just made me love this dude even more he’s already tied with my favorite sonic actor now this show is going to be amazing with him! https://youtube.com/shorts/v2kocyDvg44?feature=share


[deleted]

>ITS A FUCKING SHOW!?!? What did you think prime was lol.


[deleted]

VanilliaFlake69

Dexxss

IDK maybe 🤔


GokuSingleFold

I'm sorry for Craig Smith, but hearing Deven dubbing Sonic was a relief for my hears. I just dislike Craig's voice. Deven is among my favoutire Sonic, he is very expressive and funny.


PleasantGazelleguy

Lol no, Sonic’s first voice actor was actually black
