Who voices Jayce in Arcane? Actor’s career and notable projects, explored 

If you’ve watched Arcane and marveled at Jayce’s charisma, you have Kevin Alejandro to thank! The Lucifer and Arrow alum lends his voice to Piltover’s hammer-wielding innovator. This role has now become one of the most famous ones in Netflix’s League of Legends universe.

Alejandro's Jayce Talis is the inventor who wants to bring magic to the masses but gets lost in the politics of Piltover. The performance is full of swag but also shows Jayce's fragility, which makes a fully fleshed-out hero caught between ambition and morality.

For Arcane’s Japanese release, the role went to Yu Miyazaki, but Alejandro’s voiceover defines Jayce’s tone in the English version. League of Legends features Trevor Devall as Jayce’s voice actor, and Faustino Duran portrayed young Jayce in Arcane. So, Alejandro anchors the show’s adult Jayce arc.

Previous projects of Jayce's voice actor in Arcane

Before voicing a hammer-wielding genius, Kevin Alejandro was literally working in hell as he played Detective Dan Espinoza on Netflix’s Lucifer. Fans might remember him as the cop caught in celestial drama with a beer.

He’s also had a long TV career spanning over two decades, appearing in shows like Southland, True Blood, and Arrow, where he played Sebastian Blood.

Alejandro’s range from procedural dramas to supernatural fantasy only proves how much he can ground the fictional in truth. Outside of acting, he’s also a director, having helmed episodes of Lucifer and Fire Country.

Kevin Alejandro has been silent about Arcane Season 2

Here's where things get interesting: fans on Reddit have noticed something peculiar. Despite the show's popularity and Season 2's success, Kevin Alejandro has been absent from interviews, red carpets, and even Q&A panels.

A thread sparked a discussion. One user speculated that Alejandro might just be busy or uninterested in fandom events, writing:

"Some actors do whatever promotion is required of them and move on. Just because something is popular doesn't mean that every actor involved is obligated to indulge fandoms."

Another fan pointed out that --

"Acting is a job, too, so he may not have much to say about playing the role."

Others suggest that perhaps Alejandro prefers his privacy, with one user saying, "Not all VAs want to be public figures. Some people want to make art and then go home to chill out." Still, some find the silence "sus," especially since Jayce hasn't received much merch or spotlight compared to Viktor or Jinx.

Whether it's a personal choice or studio decision, the curiosity about Alejandro adds to Jayce's mystique. Jayce's dynamic with Viktor (voiced by Harry Lloyd) drives much of the show, as two minds diverge on how to wield power. Alejandro's voice moves from awe to determination, and eventually to guilt.

At 6'2" and in his early thirties during Season 2, Jayce reflects that Piltover is constantly on the brink of moral collapse.
