Biography

Dismuke began acting as a young child. His cousin, voice actor and director Justin Cook, helped to gain him his first role. He started voice acting at nine years old, where he voiced Hiro Sohma and the young Akito Sohma in Fruits Basket (2001).^[4]

When Dismuke was twelve years old, he was given his first lead role as Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist.^[4] In Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, his role of Alphonse Elric was replaced by Maxey Whitehead due to puberty, but he returned to reprise his role in the live-action film on Netflix.^[4] Reflecting on his early acting career, Dismuke said: "I definitely didn't spend my early twenties feeling like a washed-up has-been pseudo-child star. In truth, I'm one of the lucky few in this business who've had something approaching job security thanks to my getting cast in a number of awesome shows that keep coming back for new seasons."^[4] He also voiced the young Van Hohenheim, the Elric brothers' father in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

He is also the voice of many characters such as Chihiro Furuya in Sankarea, Gen Narumi in Kaiju No. 8, Lucifer in The Devil is a Part-Timer!, Arslan in The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Twelve in Terror in Resonance, Shun Asanaga in Endride, Hayashi in Recovery of an MMO Junkie, Leonardo Watch in Blood Blockade Battlefront, Van Fanel in The Vision of Escaflowne, Senku Ishigami in Dr. Stone, and Miyuki Shirogane in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

In 2016, Dismuke was cast in his first role in western animation as Oscar Pine in the Rooster Teeth animated series RWBY. In 2017, he was cast as Yukiya Naruse in Code Geass: Akito the Exiled. In 2018, he was cast as Tamaki Amajiki in My Hero Academia. In 2019, he was cast in his second role in western animation as Beetle in a Cartoon Network series Beetle + Bean. In 2022, Dismuke wrote on X that he would be stepping away from his voice acting work due to COVID-19 and subsequent vocal rest, which required him to temporarily step back from roles such as Miyuki Shirogane in Kaguya-sama: Love is War (which Clifford Chapin filled in his absence) and Nishikata in Teasing Master Takagi-san (which Bryson Baugus filled in his absence).^[4] Dismuke later revealed that he had muscle tension dysphonia.^[4] Dismuke received treatment and was assured that his vocal chords were not damaged.^[4]
