Aaron Dismuke was one of the few child voice actors in the voice acting field. He is best known as the voice of Alphonse Elric in the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime, voiced when he was just 12 years old. However, he had grown out of the role by the time Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was produced, so Maxey Whitehead filled in for him. Is the cousin of Justin Cook, and eventually became a scriptwriter for dubs much like him. He continues to voice characters for FUNimation, triumphantly averting Former Child Star, and has even started doing voicework in LA.
He and FMA co-star Vic Mignogna formed their own "fanbase incarnate" in the form of the Risembool Rangers, who occasionally follow them from con to con.
Aaron Dismuke has performed in the following roles:
- Yuuto Sakaeguchi in Big Windup
- Kio Kakazu in Cat Planet Cuties
- Yoh Takami in Deadman Wonderland
- Hiro Sohma and young Akito in the first Fruits Basket anime
- Alphonse Elric in the first Fullmetal Alchemist and the OVA Collection (bar the "Kids" short)
- Young Hohenheim in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- Leon Elliot in Black Cat
- Sergeo in Lupin III: Farewell To Nostradamus
- Yasuchika Haninozuka in Ouran High School Host Club
- Ouri Kagami in Shikabane Hime
- Ion Fortuna in Trinity Blood
- The English voice synthesizer for the famed ASIMO robot was apparently patterned after him, specifically his performance in FMA.
- Oscar Pine in RWBY
Aaron Dismuke provides examples of the following tropes:
- Adorkable: Voices these kinds of characters.
- Estrogen Brigade: He grew up, and girls and gay boys now swoon over him. Add the occasional time when he's with Troy Baker at anime conventions and the aforementioned groups of people go kinda crazy.
- He's All Grown Up
- One of Us
- Those Two Guys: With Troy Baker or Vic Mignogna, the latter being no surprise given that they portrayed a pair of brothers a few years back.
- Vocal Evolution: Inevitably went through this.
