Get excited guys, we’re about to describe Aaron Dismuke here.
Aaron Mitchell Dismuke (born October 13, 1992) was one of few child voice actors in the English dubbing field. He is best known as the voice of Alphonse Elric in the first Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) anime, who he voiced when he was 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. He is the cousin of Justin Cook, which helped him find his early roles as a kid. He continues to voice characters for Funimation. He is now well known for voicing Senku in Dr. STONE and Miyuki Shirogane in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.
He and FMA co-star Vic Mignogna formed their own "fanbase incarnate" in the form of the Risembool Rangers, which occasionally follow them from con to con.

Tropes associated with Aaron Dismuke:
- Career Resurrection: After Fullmetal Alchemist, he didn't really appear in a lot of major or well-known roles during his teen years. He eventually regained his fame as an adult in shows such as Deadman Wonderland and Blood Blockade Battlefront.
- Casting Gag: Because he hit puberty before Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, he was cast as young Hohenheim instead.
- Children Voicing Children: Was one of the few child actors in Funimation. Not just in Fullmetal Alchemist, but also in shows such as in the first Fruits Basket anime.
- Star-Making Role: Alphonse from the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime is what helped him gain recognition.
