Mike Pollock is an accomplished voice actor whose distinctive voice has become synonymous with one of gaming’s most iconic villains. Since 2003, he has portrayed Dr. Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, bringing the mad scientist to life across video games, animated series, and more. He has now held the role longer than any other English-speaking actor in the franchise’s history.

Mike’s career extends well beyond the Eggman Empire. Anime fans will recognize his work as the narrator of Pokémon, a role he held for nearly two decades alongside characters like Raoul Contesta and Drayden, and the Pokémon Volcanion. His extensive dubbing resume includes Meat in Ultimate Muscle, Mayor Len Blustergas in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Adon in Berserk, and roles in series ranging from Yu-Gi-Oh! to Dr. Stone to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Before conquering the voice acting world, Mike honed his craft in radio across Upstate New York during the 1980s. That broadcast background gave him the vocal versatility and comedic timing that have defined his career. When he’s not behind the microphone bringing characters to life, he writes comedy bits and song parodies—talents he’s happy to share at conventions with fans who’ve grown up hearing his voice.
