Where have I heard Arcane voice actors before? 

Probably the name that may be jumping off the list is Hailee Steinfeld, who voices Vi in Arcane. She has been a recognisable name in Hollywood for quite some time now, but the voice cast also includes a rising star that has had quite the 2024. 

Hailee Steinfeld 

Voicing the main role of Violet/ Vi, Hailee Steinfeld first shot to prominence after starring in the 2010 remake of True Grit alongside Jeff Bridges. But that is not her only significant role. 

She is the voice of Gwen Stacey/ Spider-Gwen in the Spiderverse animated films (Into the Spider-verse/ Across the Spider-verse). Steinfeld also played Emily Junk in Pitch Perfect 2 and 3. 

Some may recognise her from her pop career, including hits such as Starving with Zedd. And if you are subscribed to Apple TV+, you may recognise her from her role as Emily Dickinson in Dickinson. 

Ella Purnell 

The voice of Jinx (also known as Powder), Ella Purnell has had quite the rise since the first season of Arcane. In 2024 alone, she starred in the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime Video - playing Lucy MacLean - as well as playing the main role in Sky’s Sweetpea. 

You may have also seen her as Jackie Taylor in Yellowstone or in films like Never Let Me Go - she played Young Ruth. Ella also played teenage Maleficent in the 2014 film of the same name. 

Arcane is not Ella’s only experience as a voice actor, she has voiced the role of Gwyn in Star Trek: Prodigy since 2021. She also had a one episode voice role as Jane in Amazon’s Invincible earlier this year. 

Kevin Alejandro

Voicing Jayce Talis in Arcane is Kevin Alejandro - a name which may not instantly trigger anything in your mind. But he was one of the main stars of Netflix’s Lucifer show - playing Daniel Espinóza. 

Kevin also played Sebastian Blood / Brother Blood in the popular superhero TV show Arrow. While even further back he played Jesús Velázquez in HBO’s buzzy vampire show True Blood. 

He has also appeared in shows like Fire Country airing on Sky and was part of the cast for Ugly Betty back in the day. 

Katie Leung

Scottish actress Katie Leung is the voice for Caitlyn Kiramman in Arcane and if you are wondering where you have heard her before - she was in the Harry Potter films. She played Harry’s one-time love interest Cho Chang, appearing in four of the movies. 

If you have young children you might have watched the recent Moominvalley series - she was the voice of Too-Ticky in that. Katie also played the role of Rachel Li in the recent BBC One thriller series Nightsleeper.
