Who Voices Your Favorite Heroes in Dispatch?
When Dispatch dropped at the 2024 Game Awards, it wasn’t just the unique gameplay that caught everyone’s attention—it was the incredible lineup of voice talent. From Hollywood A-listers to YouTube sensations and beloved video game veterans, this episodic superhero game assembled a cast that rivals any major production.
If you’ve been playing through the episodes and thinking “wait, I know that voice from somewhere,” you’re definitely not alone. Each new episode introduces more characters, and chances are you’ve heard these actors in your favorite games, TV shows, or even on YouTube. Let’s break down the complete voice cast and explore where you might recognize them from.
The Main Cast: Hollywood Meets Gaming Royalty
Aaron Paul as Mecha Man / Robert Robertson
Yes, that Aaron Paul. Breaking Bad’s Jesse Pinkman himself brings his instantly recognizable voice to the role of Mecha Man. Paul has proven his voice acting chops before with roles like the lovable Todd Chavez in BoJack Horseman and Caleb Nichols in Westworld. His performance adds serious star power to Dispatch’s roster.
Laura Bailey as Invisigal
Laura Bailey is basically video game royalty at this point. If you’ve played any major game in the past decade, you’ve probably heard her voice. She’s best known for her heart-wrenching performance as Abby in The Last of Us: Part II, Mary Jane Watson in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Vex’ahlia in The Legend of Vox Machina. Having her in Dispatch instantly elevates the game’s credibility in the voice acting department.
Travis Willingham as Phenomaman
Another Critical Role legend joins the cast! Travis Willingham voices Phenomaman and brings decades of experience from iconic roles like Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist, Portgas D. Ace in One Piece, and even Knuckles in recent Sonic the Hedgehog projects. If you’re a fan of anime dubs or adventure games, you’ve definitely heard his work.
Jeffrey Wright as Chase
Talk about heavyweight talent! Jeffrey Wright, known for his brilliant performances as Bernard Lowe in Westworld, Isaac Dixon in The Last of Us, and Beetee in The Hunger Games, lends his distinctive voice to Chase. This casting choice shows just how seriously Dispatch takes its storytelling.
The YouTube and Content Creator Crossover
What makes Dispatch particularly interesting is its blend of traditional voice actors with popular content creators:
Sean McLoughlin (Jacksepticeye) as Punch Up
One of YouTube’s biggest gaming personalities voices Punch Up. With over 30 million subscribers, Jacksepticeye brings his energetic personality to the role. He’s also appeared in Free Guy and voiced Pirate Jack in Sonic Prime, proving he can handle professional voice work.
Charles White Jr. (MoistCr1TiKaL) as Sonar
Another massive YouTube creator joins the cast as Sonar. Known for his deadpan humor and gaming content, MoistCr1TiKaL has also done voice work in World of Warships and Last of the Grads.
Joel Haver as Waterboy
The indie filmmaker and YouTube animator brings his unique style to Waterboy. Haver is known for his critically acclaimed short films like 31 Days in Marshall, North Carolina and has built a devoted following for his rotoscoped animation style.
The Critical Role Connection
If you’re a fan of Critical Role or The Legend of Vox Machina, Dispatch is basically a reunion:
- Ashley Johnson (Brainbook / Ashley Rhiness) – Ellie from The Last of Us
- Marisha Ray (Brickhouse) – Multiple roles in Fire Emblem Heroes and Persona 4
- Matthew Mercer (Shroud) – Leon S. Kennedy, Yusuke Kitagawa, Levi Ackerman
