Notes
- Since around 2022, Ben Diskin had stopped appearing regularly in anime and video game dubs due to becoming a more mainstream voice actor. However, he occasionally continues to voice characters in anime dubs and video games as long as it is a Union Dub production or a reprisal of an old role. However, he has confirmed that he has stopped working in non-union dubs for Crunchyroll:
- Anthony Bowling replaced him as Skeptic / Tomoyasu Chikazoku in My Hero Academia starting season 6.
- A.J. Beckles replaced him as Michizo Tachihara in Bungo Stray Dogs season 4.
