* CastingGag: After getting [[TheOtherDarrin replaced]] by Creator/EricVale as the voice of Phoenix Wright in the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' [[Anime/AceAttorney anime adaptation]], which is dubbed by Creator/{{Funimation}} and largely uses Dallas-based actors, Sam was cast in the anime's second season as Furio Tigre, a guy who impersonates Phoenix.

* Furio Tigre in ''Anime/AceAttorney'' (a CastingGag as his character impersonates Phoenix Wright, whom Sam plays in the [[Franchise/AceAttorney main game series]])

** Also invoked with [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Ky Kiske]], a [[BadassBaritone deep-voiced]][[labelnote:note]]Compared to most of his roles.[[/labelnote]] [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership knight-turned-world leader]] with a [[FakeBrit British accent]].

* Ky Kiske in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear Xrd''

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Very recently with Creator/MatthewMercer. The two starred opposite each other as Kuroh and Shiro in ''Anime/{{K}}'', and in ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'', and both of them are in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' as well. They both also serve as [[TheOtherDarrin replacements for popular characters]] in ''Persona 4'', with Riegel replacing Teddie after the first game and Mercer replacing Creator/TroyBaker as Kanji in ''[[VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax Ultimax]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth Q]]''.
** Is best friends in real life with Creator/LiamOBrien, who challenged the both of them to pick a male voice actor, they would marry if given the option. The hard part of the challenge was that they couldn't pick each other.
** Also invoked in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear Xrd'', where he voices Ky while Creator/EdenRiegel, his younger sister, voices May. And sure enough, both Creator/LiamOBrien and Creator/MatthewMercer pop up there as Axl and Zato respectively (also, Sam was succeeding Liam in the role of Ky).
** Before ''Xrd'', both played Sam and Eden provided voices in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Golden'': the former provided the voice of Teddie, and the latter, Marie.
** He voice-directed a few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', which also features Creator/AimeeCarrero as the main role, who ''also'' plays the main role in another show Sam voice-directs, ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor''.

!!Tropes associated with Sam Riegel:

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his fellow voice actor Creator/LiamOBrien

* MemeticTroll: More than any of the other actors on WebVideo/CriticalRole, Sam will do anything for a laugh and likes teasing his co-stars. Examples include his [[BullyingTheDragon t-shirt collection]] and his in-character attempts to mess with his party members' love lives.

* ''WesternAnimation/FreshBeatBandOfSpies'' (2015) [[note]] He works with Collette Sunderman [[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToTheWayne'' (2017) [[note]] He serves as the Los Angeles voice director while Darren Dusten works things up in New York [[/note]]

* [[WholesomeCrossdresser Array Danon Ci]] in ''[[Anime/RinneNoLagrange Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne]]''

* PigeonholedVoiceActor: A large majority of the characters he voices are [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy Ridiculously average characters]] ([[Manga/LuckyStar Taniguchi]] and [[Creator/MinoruShiraishi Minoru]] [[Manga/LuckyStar Shiraishi]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Stahl, and Donnel]]) or [[BadassNormal badasses with no supernatural abilities]] ([[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Flynn Scifo]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Stahl and Donnel]]); and if they aren't, they tend [[BunnyEarsLawyer to be eccentric and quirky that can get the job done]] ([[Manga/BlueExorcist Mephisto Pheles]], [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]], [[Anime/RinneNoLagrange Array]], and [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Teddie]]) [[WebVideo/CriticalRole Scanlan Shorthalt]] is arguably him pigeonholing ''himself'' into the latter archetype.
