	Prior to 2009, when Roger was first approached by Ubisoft, his agent warned him that the the previous [[Assassin's Creed\|game]] ~~didn't do~~ too well and didn't know the future of the franchise. Regardless, Roger took the opportunity and voiced the character of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. When the game released on 17 November 2009 the fan response was very positive. To get the voice of the character down, Roger researched Italians speaking English with an accent. He chose however to give Ezio a general Italian accent and not a [[Venice\|Venetian]] or [[Florence\|Florentine]] accent in order to not alienate western audiences. [[Ida Darvish]] acted as Roger's dialect coach and worked tirelessly with him to create Ezio's voice and to get his Italian pronunciation correct.<ref name="Interview">{{Youtube\|BQHPkn3qLcE\|An Ezio Auditore restrospective with Roger Craig Smith\|UC4CYm6-r5V10yU_InAoyFhQ\|Thumb Culture}}</ref>		Prior to 2009, when Roger was first approached by Ubisoft, his agent warned him that the the previous [[Assassin's Creed\|game]] had not performed too well and he didn't know the future of the franchise.

	Unaware that more games would be made, Roger returned to voice Ezio in 2010 for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. Halfway through production, Darvish was replaced as his dialect coach by [[Peter Arpesella]]. After the time it took to practice speaking Italian for ''Assassin's Creed II'', in ''Brotherhood'' it was decided to cut back on the Italian to save time. He returned again for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]'' in 2011. As Ezio got older, Roger changed his voice to suit.<ref name="Interview" /> In 2013, Roger had a voice cameo as [[Ruggiero Ferraro]] and an Abstergo market analyst in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''.<ref>{{Imdb\|name/nm1886746\|Roger Craig Smith}}</ref>		Unaware that more games would be made, Roger returned to voice Ezio in 2010 for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.
