Older women voice younger boys all the time, because they tend to be better at it than men. And Bart doesn't have a very realistic young boy's voice. It's recognizable as one, but you'd never really hear a kid talk like that. Tails had a more authentic young voice, something that would be really difficult to emulate.

The guy didn't have a high voice. I have a hard time thinking a 28 year old man could do a voice like that.

I thought the SatAM Tails did the better "young voice", but yeah the Adventures voice is good too. Natural kid.

Wikipedia is having some serious editing wars. This is ridiculous...

I'm of the mind that the man was younger. I just don't see a 28-year-old man doing the voice Tails had in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Welch’s agent, Scott Metzger of Paradigm, told The Hollywood Reporter that the actor had battled cancer for years and that “his body just caught up with him.”

Bradley Pierce, who voiced Tails in SatAM, is also just 31.
Didn't realize they had different actors per show till now.

He was pretty obviously older than 31. Here's a picture of him taken 2 years ago:



Have you ever seen a 29 year old with graying hair and wrinkles all over their face?

RIP Christopher. I enjoyed watching the show when I was younger and this news has come as great shock.

RIP Chistopher, and Danny too.

We also lost Tomoyuki Dan who voiced Kisame in Naruto and Chronicle Asher in Victory Gundam almost 2 months ago as well.

And since Jaleel did Sonic for both shows I assumed the same for Tails' VA
