Dispatch voice cast guide for every major hero and villain

Dispatch leans hard on its voice cast. The game lives or dies on conversations in a control room and in the field, so every character needs a distinct, memorable voice. Instead of relying only on traditional voice actors, it mixes Hollywood names, veteran game performers, YouTubers, and musicians into one ensemble.

The table below lists every major named character in Dispatch and who voices them.

Core SDN heroes and the actors behind them

The emotional center of Dispatch is Robert Robertson, better known to the public as Mecha Man. Aaron Paul voices Robert, bringing the same mix of vulnerability and frustration that defined his work as Jesse Pinkman. In Dispatch, he has to sell a different kind of desperation: a former armored superhero stuck on the wrong side of the glass, directing people who now do the punching for him.

Robert’s former teammates give the cast much of its range. Laura Bailey plays Invisigal, leaning on years of game and animation work to make an invisible hero feel grounded. Erin Yvette gives Blonde Blazer a slightly brittle edge that fits a front-line celebrity hero who still has to respond to an HR department.

Jeffrey Wright rounds out the senior-hero tier as Chase, the older, battle-scarred legend who remembers Robert before the fall. His scenes rely less on bombast and more on gravity — the performance leans into weariness and authority rather than standard superhero bravado.

Streamers and YouTubers stepping into major roles

Some of the most recognisable voices in Dispatch come from outside traditional acting. Punch Up and Sonar are both played by long-running YouTube creators whose audiences skew toward the same people who will be playing this game.

Seán McLoughlin, better known as Jacksepticeye, voices Punch Up. The character is frantic, impulsive, and constantly talking — a natural fit for someone who built a career on high-energy commentary. In-game, that energy turns into a hero who will crack a joke in the middle of a disaster and then throw himself into a fight without thinking through the consequences.

Charles White Jr., or MoistCr1TiKaL, plays Sonar. His delivery is drier, and Dispatch leans into that contrast. Sonar starts as more of a wild card than a straightforward hero, and the performance walks a line between deadpan commentary and genuine menace. It helps that White has experience voicing characters in smaller games and online animation; he knows how to sell a line with just a slight change in tone.

Waterboy is another case where online video fans will recognise the voice before the credits roll. Joel Haver brings the same awkward, rambling cadence that defines his rotoscoped shorts to a hero who is anxious, apologetic, and quietly funny.

Musicians and stunt performers turned voice actors

Dispatch doesn’t stop at YouTube for unexpected casting. A handful of characters are built around performers whose main work happens far away from the booth.

Prism is voiced by Thot Squad, a musician who brings a club-ready vocal style to the game’s stand-out musical sequence. Prism’s bar-fight performance is meant to sound like it could live on a playlist, and pairing the role with an actual recording artist keeps that from feeling like parody.

Golem goes one step further into that space. The laid-back stone hero is voiced by Yung Gravy, whose comedic rap already thrives on oversized swagger and throwaway one-liners. In Dispatch, that turns Golem into the kind of character who can make a joke about disaster without undercutting the stakes.

Royd showcases a different kind of crossover. Played by stunt performer Tanoai Reed, he stands close to Robert throughout the story, one of the few people who understands the man inside the Mecha Man suit. Reed is more familiar with film sets than with recording studios, but the role taps into his physical background: Royd sounds like someone who has spent a career getting hit for a living and still finds room for warmth.

Critical Role regulars and veteran game actors

Dispatch also draws heavily from the circle of performers best known for long-running tabletop streams and game roles.

Matthew Mercer voices Shroud, the game’s primary big bad. The casting leans into his reputation for playing layered antagonists and gruff heroes; Shroud has to sound dangerous in a single line of dialogue, and Mercer’s track record in shooters and RPGs makes that feel effortless.

Travis Willingham plays Phenomaman and also appears as a bouncer, chewing through confident bravado in small scenes that ground the world’s lower-level hero work. Liam O'Brien turns up as Lightningstruck, adding another familiar voice to the roster of superpowered contractors.

Elsewhere, Sam Riegel as Sweetalker, Marisha Ray as Brickhouse, and Ashley Johnson as Brainbook (and Ashley Rhiness) give Dispatch a set of characters that feel like they came straight from a long-running campaign: big personalities with clearly defined quirks, sketched in quickly but leaving room for depth.

Side heroes, villains, and support staff

The rest of the cast fills out SDN’s ecosystem of misfits, rivals, and bureaucrats.

Alanah Pearce’s Malevola occupies that blurred space between antagonist and reluctant ally, with a delivery that flips easily between laid-back banter and sharp cynicism. Mayanna Berrin’s Coupe — who can even be cut from the team depending on your choices — sounds like she has one foot in the office and one in the field, which tracks cleanly with Berrin’s own mix of on-camera and writing work on the game.

Armstrong (Frankie Quiñones) and Toxic (Jared Goldstein) add different flavours of comedy: Quiñones pushes into bombastic, chest-puffing territory, while Goldstein brings a more modern, acerbic rhythm. Galen, voiced by stand-up Nimesh Patel, acts as a lightly exasperated explainer, looping you through menus and mechanics with lines that feel more like riffing than tutorial text.

Equilibrium (Jenn An), Dopply (Vincent Tong), Brainteaser (Isaac Jay), Gena (Kelly Sheridan), and Charles Kingsley (Sam Vincent) show up across the story to round out SDN’s extended network and the city around it. They give Dispatch the sense that this is a living superhero economy rather than a tiny group of regulars.

Even bit roles have recognisable voices. Brian Dobson handles multiple minor characters — Blob Goon, Orange Ski, and Granny — in the background, pulling from a long history of animation work to keep them distinct even when they only get a handful of lines.

Put together, Dispatch’s casting strategy mirrors its fiction. The game is about a messy, overlapping network of people trying to do something heroic inside a system that doesn’t always make sense. Mixing prestige TV actors, long-time voice professionals, internet personalities, musicians, and stunt performers keeps that world feeling as strange and crowded as it looks on screen — and gives almost every hero or villain a voice that sticks in your head long after their scene ends.
