Notes[]
- Since around 2018, Mercer had stopped appearing regularly in anime dubs due to becoming a more mainstream voice actor, and his current role as the Dungeon Master in Critical Role. However, he occasionally continues to voice characters in anime dubs and video game dubs as long as it's a Union Dub production or a reprisal of an old role.
