* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'': Sig and Lemres

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Has a very wide range of voices going from [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Numbah 2]], [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sai]], and [[Anime/BloodPlus Kai]], not to mention [[BadassBaritone Skaar]], [[EvilSoundsDeep Venom, Young Xehanort and Harm]]. This is highlighted further in Anime/DigimonFusion where he voices [[HotBlooded Shoutmon]] and [[BadassAdorable Cutemon]], he uses his normal vocal range for the former and a higher pitched and effeminate voice for the later. He's also one of the few male voice actors whose voice is high-pitched enough to voice young boys such as [[VideoGame/RuneFactory4 Kiel]]. He also voiced [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], a character with a ''very'' nasal voice who is normally voiced by [[Creator/ChrisSanders his own creator]], making Diskin the only other English speaker so far to voice that character)[[note]]However, Diskin only voiced the character in the English versions of the [[Anime/{{Stitch}} East]] [[Animation/StitchAndAi Asian]] spin-offs; he has yet to voice the character in a Western-made production.[[/note]]

* ActingInTheDark: Diskin was given no context for his lines as Young Xehanort in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsDreamDropDistance'', in order to match the character's [[ColdHam lack of personal stake]] in the plot.

** He was a big fan of ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' before getting to play Shoutmon and Cutemon in ''[[Anime/DigimonXrosWars Digimon Fusion]]''.

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: After initially being weirded out by the attention he received from furries after playing Haida, he's since become an active part of the fandom. Perhaps most amazingly he was a Guest of Honor at Anthrocon 2019, and even showed up in-character [[https://twitter.com/anthrocon/status/1147149611200651265 wearing a Haida fursuit]].
** He's gotten a lot more attention from the fandom lately after ''also'' voicing wolf-man Shirou in ''Anime/BNABrandNewAnimal'' and Jack the Golden Retriever in the English dub of ''Manga/{{Beastars}}''. Such attention has caused furries to joke that at this point Diskin is Haida's "humansona".
