The demon-slaying saga Devil May Cry has made its return as an animated flamethrower Netflix series. Both fans of Capcom’s video games and newcomers attracted by jaw-dropping animation are already all over it.
The legendary show is spearheaded by Adi Shankar (Castlevania) and Studio Mir's mesmerizing animations. It also has an exuberant voice cast portraying the characters we all love. Today, let's take a look at the amazing actors in Devil May Cry.
Dante by Johnny Yong Bosch

Dante, the devil hunter, makes his return is played by none other than the anime and gaming actor Johnny Yong Bosch. With his renowned role as Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach and Nero in the Devil May Cry, he most definitely suits the part.
Bosch's voice as Dante perfectly captures the charm, humor, and pain humanising the chaos in the animation.
Vergil by Robbie Daymond

Opposing Dante is his cold, power-hungry twin brother, Vergil, portrayed by Robbie Daymond. A-list voice actor Daymond has brought life to characters such as Prompto from Final Fantasy XV and Mumen Rider from One-Punch Man.
In a stoic yet menacing fashion, Daymond voices Vergil in a way that manages to accommodate rivalry with his twin as well as the grim animosity between them.
VP Baines by Kevin Conroy

In the brilliant Vice President Baines, Kevin Conroy—Batman’s voice in a number of animations—plays one of his last roles. As in many of his last roles, Conroy recorded his lines before his untimely passing in 2022.
VP Baines is an original character created for the animation, but his performance provides the legacy and grandeur that the show deserves. With this role, Conroy pays tribute to a career that defined several generations of animated heroes.
Mary by Scout Taylor-Compton

Scoot Taylor-Compton might not be known for anything besides her roles in slasher films like Halloween (2007), but here, she plays the deep-rooted mythos of the series’s Mary.
Voicing the character, Compton gives Mary’s gradual backstory untold depth and weight alongside the show’s central conflict, giving the character an emotional nuance.
Hoon Lee as The White Rabbit

The White Rabbit is voiced by stage and screen actor Hoon Lee (also in Banshee). The role is one of a silent, mysterious, and haunting figure with concealed motives. With his rich voice, Lee casts a ghostly shadow onto the character and heightens interest in his true nature and his significance in the emerging clash of worlds.
Chris Coppola as Enzo

Chris Coppola voices Enzo, the fan-favorite of the game series, notorious for his underhanded business antics and streetwise charm. Coppola’s performance highlights Enzo’s comedic relief and underworld ties—demon-hunting chaos would only be gritty with that much realism beneath the surface.
