David Humphrey

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 the Hedgehog series. 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 and friend Ryan Drummond who played Smudge in Forever Plaid and who was 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 and some of his old clips were reused in the game Sega Superstars. David also voiced the character Vlad in the September 2006 episode of the online animated videogame-spoofing series Press Start: Bonus Levels entitled "Symphony of the Trite," and has continued to reprise the role in subsequent episodes. Jason Anthony Griffith was the next actor in line to perform Shadow, as well as some other characters.

David is also a bass singer in a cappella sextet, known as Vybration.
