First heard this guy as Jason Griffiths's replacement as Shadow... But the big thing I remember him from was the English dub of Barefoot Gen, he was Gen's father.
funny story,when i asked him to sign my pokemon origins dvd (& digimon season 1 dvd collection) @ san japan 2016,he said "actually i wasn't in pokemon origins".so i said "but it says in the back,kirk thornton as mr.fuji & lance."so his assistant had to remind him he was in that.i guess voice actors don't remember every character thay voiced
I was never really a fan of Kirk's shadow voice but I was pleasantly surprised with his performance in Sonic Forces. I'm exited to see where he'll take the character in the future
I’m used to him playing serious menacing and threatening characters like Kisame and Saix... so when I hear him as a goofy character like Don Patch, it shocks me (in a good way)
Hey, Kirk! Don't forget to mention Shadow the Hedgehog! Edit: I know some people hated Thornton as Shadow (and he can do the way people expect), but I didn't feel the same and I did try to not like it.
Personally he's not really my favorite Shadow, but he's gotten much better over the years. Lately he's sounded less and less edgy. I still prefer Jason and David over Kirk, but he's doing a pretty good job.
Cubot's fine but his portrayal as Shadow is well....Why make him edgy make him sound more hero but dark like how Griffith nailed it. Or even better, Humphrey. EDIT: He has improved slightly in Forces. I don't hate this guy at all, I think Thornton is a great guy.
Giordan Diodato that was shadow was meant to sound like, because shadow is actually 15 years old like sonic. He is the ultimate life form in the sense that he can’t age or get diseases (but in reality sonic is the fulfiller of the prophecy)
2:57 Oh boy! That's exactly what I've just told to a friend when I started watching this video: voice acting is like playing, and being paid for playing.

You were on a roll like Dramole when you played him in Power Rangers, Kirk. However, Dramole isn't the only monster you played in Power Rangers. Other Power Rangers monsters you played included Hatchasaurus, Photomare, Professor Longnose, and Silo. And by the way, great job, Mr. Thornton!

I actually really like this guys as shadow. His voice is really good in season 2 sonic boom and in forces!
His performance in Sonic Forces was really great!
@@silentcharm4121 more like Kisame
Yesssss
his voice is literally yujiro hanma wtf
he did good in sonic forces, I will say that
I shall forever know him as Don Patch
Anyone else actually really like this guy as shadow?
NOPE
Suicidal Gerbil YES!!!!!!!!
The Official HelloKittyPowa piss off
in some parts, but mostly no
I think he's a good combination of the last two actors.
I wonder if Kirk knows that everyone hates him as Shadow even though he is one of the chillest, coolest guys ever.
I don't hate him as Shadow :) ........
His Shadow is amazing though, so
I dont know man his voice for Shadow is the best so far
@@silentcharm4121 he is the worst
@@LapisOverlord but he isn't at all. Yeah he was kinda rough starting, but his voice really did improve in Sonic Forces
Samurai Champloo is really awesome.
This guy is fucking fantastic. So many great characters were brought to life and reimagined through him props to him, hes talented as fuck.
First heard this guy as Jason Griffiths's replacement as Shadow...
But the big thing I remember him from was the English dub of Barefoot Gen, he was Gen's father.

Lmao
He's also King Moron from Persona 4 and Jade from Tales of the Abyss.
always enjoyed his work
I was never really a fan of Kirk's shadow voice but I was pleasantly surprised with his performance in Sonic Forces. I'm exited to see where he'll take the character in the future
Actually i love Kirk Thornton as Shadow The Hedgehog, please dont hate this is just my opinion. For me hes the best Shadow The Hedgehog.
Thank you!
Fair enough, I guess we all have our opinions
I like him as well as Shadow. He’s a good person just like how Shadow is a good one of Sonic’s good friends and a friendly rival.
He is fantastic in Forces
Not even joking
I’m used to him playing serious menacing and threatening characters like Kisame and Saix... so when I hear him as a goofy character like Don Patch, it shocks me (in a good way)
Hajime Saito from Rurouni Kenshin
Anime is a highly respected form of art it was not a mistake
I love Kirk. ever since I first heard his voice as Xiahou Dun in Dynasty Warriors I knew he was something special
Saïx anyone?
Here!😋👐
Tweek Tweak I was literally thinking that when I began to scroll to the comments.
here
don patch is my favorite character ever created and this man was a freaking god at playing him!
His also a voice actor of yujiro hanma in baki 2018 2020 eng dub
favorite role: Gabumon.
You play the best shadow ever
Hey, Kirk! Don't forget to mention Shadow the Hedgehog!
Edit: I know some people hated Thornton as Shadow (and he can do the way people expect), but I didn't feel the same and I did try to not like it.
he's the guy that voices every old guy in the back ground XD he's got so many parts in the first episode of Samura Champloo lol
He will always be THE Don Patch.
THE main character!
Xiahou Dun and Meng Huo from Dynasty Warriors games
Anavel Gato from Gundam 0083 and Jinn from Samurai Champloo. this guy is mad talented
Brandon Heat is easily his most underrated role
Arguably his best one too.
I agree bro
This is AWACS Thunderhead, cut the chatter!
Kevin Ryman: Hey you!
Personally he's not really my favorite Shadow, but he's gotten much better over the years. Lately he's sounded less and less edgy. I still prefer Jason and David over Kirk, but he's doing a pretty good job.

That's not his call to make. He simply does what the director tells him to do.
Humphrey sounded too squeaky
Giordan Diodato that was shadow was meant to sound like, because shadow is actually 15 years old like sonic. He is the ultimate life form in the sense that he can’t age or get diseases (but in reality sonic is the fulfiller of the prophecy)
@@GiordanDiodato his Heroes clips were nailed but I can agree he sounded a lil off in sa2.
Look at Kirk's IMDB. This dude voice acts, directs, and writes on top of working as a Grip on movies like Justice League.
this guy lives in Portland! my favorite character from Champloo - Jin ... what are the odds !! ❤️
Jin is my favorite from Samurai Champloo too! What are the odds!
Its so epic that 3 franchises that i love have the same voice actor
- sonic : shadow the hedgehog
-kingdom hearts: saix
-samurai champloo: jin
was always fun hearing him put the SAME voice on for both Xiahou Dun and for the narrator for Grid...
never fear, I'll drive Wei to victory
His voice for Kevin Ryman was perfect 👍🏾
can we take a moment please
0:33
I'll always remember Kirk fondly as Gabumon (and his digivolutions).
i LOVE his voice for Askeladd!
His voice roles are great
Hajime Saito
Wow… this guy is really skillful. I really liked his voice as Shadow in the recent games
0:41 and 3:09 He sounds like James Carter Cathcart who played as Meowth from Pokémon when he does a Don Patch voice.
2:57 Oh boy! That's exactly what I've just told to a friend when I started watching this video: voice acting is like playing, and being paid for playing.
Happy late birthday! I have been always waiting for myself to come!
This guy's voice for Kisame in the most recent Naruto game gets me so inexplicably hype
balltopleft he voices him in the show also
I think this guy is really awesome, but I just can't stand him as Shadow. It just doesn't fit Shadow.. But other than that, great interview!
Linni Binni he really improve in Sonic Forces
@@magicmanthegeez330 he stills sounds old in forces though. He's a great actor, but his voice for shadow is unbearable
@@LapisOverlord well shadow is actually old tho, ±50years old
@@chitoseu he wasn't alive for most of those 50 years. he was in suspended animation meaning he wasn't getting old. his body is 50 but his mind is 15
Raiden AZ shadow the hedgehog is physically 15 years old. He is the ultimate life form because he can’t age or get diseases
I'll always remember this guy as saïx
JAAAAAADE.
I would really love to hear him as AWACS Thunderhead.. I miss that sweet voice.
Imagine Gabumon and Saix in the same room.
THE VOICE OF GALLAND FROM SEVEN DEADLY SINS!
His voice is legendary he will always be Brandon Heat aka Beyond The Grave from Gun Grave
Thanks for watching!
Yes, his best role
he would be a great Jet the Hawk
Brandon heat will forever be you best role Kirk
Shadow & Don Patch were good characters for Kirk!
This is Thunderhead. Captain Davenport how many times must I tell you to cut the chatter!?
Jin! Since he speaks a few words and whispers, you would never be able to tell that Kirk voices him when he speaks normally.
Do you feel it?The moon's power
Da Da Begoneeee!!!
Move Aside!!!

It’s Klein from Sao!
You were on a roll like Dramole when you played him in Power Rangers, Kirk. However, Dramole isn't the only monster you played in Power Rangers. Other Power Rangers monsters you played included Hatchasaurus, Photomare, Professor Longnose, and Silo. And by the way, great job, Mr. Thornton!

First time I hear Kirk was as Hajime Saito from Rurouni Kenshin
Forever Xiahou Dun #DynastyWarriors
This guy might be my favorite anime voice actor! I really liked him as tazuna from naruto
Jin from Samurai Champloo! 😆❤️
Can you do Quinton Flynn aka Axel next?
Like this guy
xiahou dun
Kevin Ryman!
If I'm correct he's haijime Saito from rurouni kenshin
They shuld get kirk Thornton to voices English kokushibo from demon slayer
I'd never expected him to voice donald trump in The Queen's Corgis
SAY WHAT SAY WHAT BOBOBO!!!
wish we could hear his thoughts on Don Patch
Kirk. You definitely were awesome as Anavel Gato in Gundam 0083!
I can hear him as my OC who is J. Jonah Jameson in a School setting.
Siegfried and Nightmare for Soul Calibur 6 is where I last heard this guy.
Colonel Marshall... More than 10 years ago...
I always hoped Hajime Saito was his default voice... still cool though
I forgot that he played Saito, thanks for the reminder
Celeste Tesla he pretty much became my fav voice actor based on that
Hey his voice is that deep there was an TH-cam interview where he explained it and same dude.
My favorite was Xiahou Dun from Dynasty Warriors no one can replace him
Usually when hear voice actors talk regularly I can hear the character in their voice. I do not hear Saix, shadow, or Jin in his regular voice at all.
I want a remake of tales of the abyss and I want him to reprise his role as jade.
Thanks for watching Talking Voices!
The same guy who did Shadow was also Brandon Heat??
He does a great job as Yujiro Hanma too
Who’s here after finding out he’s the Hand Demon from Demon Slayer
Mr. Fuji in Pokemon Origins
He plays Maurice in the jungle bunch
This is AWACS, callsing "Thunderhead"...
which part was he doing shukaku?
the one tailed beast in naruto?
Yujiro Hanma!
Can you do Richard Epcar?
We’ll see what we can do!! Thanks for watching!
First heard his voice as Klein from Sword Art. Now, he's just Askelaad
Didn't he voice Maurice the penguin from The Jungle Bunch to the Rescue?
Xiahou Dun and Meng Huo!
