Assassin's Creed Voice Actor Is Terrified Of Ledges
Roger Craig Smith has voiced loads of iconic video game characters, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Arkham Origins' Batman, and Apex Legends fan-favorite Mirage.

In a recent interview with Forbes, Smith--who is a big fan of gaming--was asked if there's a specific gaming memory in his life that "stands out." For Assassin's Creed fans, his answer was a bit unexpected.
