10After the conclusion of ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' in 2009, Tony [[https://youtu.be/ysz2jFe1Tns?t=3 retired from voice acting]] and currently works in the oil sands industry at Fort [=McMurray=]. This was confirmed by fellow voice actor Creator/SamuelVincent, who played [[TheSmartGuy Double]][[GadgeteerGenius -D]] in ''Ed, Edd n Eddy''. Sampson later revealed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysz2jFe1Tns in a podcast in 2021]] that he retired after he asked the production company he was working for at the time for a small pay raise, only for them to threaten to blacklist him from the acting industry in response.
