Mike Pollock

Michael B. "Mike" Pollock (born March 9, 1965 in Roslyn Heights, New York) is an American voice actor who has been notable for voicing Doctor Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and playing many characters in anime dubs by 4Kids Entertainment, NYAV Post, DuArt Film and Video, and (most recently) Studiopolis.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Starting with the 2003 premiere of Sonic X, Pollock plays the roles of Doctor Eggman, Professor Gerald, and Eggman Nega. Pollock took over the role of Eggman in the video games starting with the 2005 game Shadow the Hedgehog. This is because Sega decided to make the voices in the series and games match, removing all of their previous actors. (It is a common misconception that the reason for this was that the death of actor Deem Bristow led to this decision, when in actuality, it was already decided by the time of his death).
