List of Critical Role cast members

This article is about cast and characters from the Critical Role actual play web series. For characters from the Critical Role animated series, see List of The Legend of Vox Machina characters.

The main cast of Critical Role at WonderCon in 2017.

Critical Role (sometimes abbreviated as CR) is an American actual play web series in which a group of professional voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons . The principal cast consists of Matthew Mercer, Ashley Johnson, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, Liam O'Brien, Taliesin Jaffe, Marisha Ray, Orion Acaba and Sam Riegel.

There have been three campaigns – Campaign 1 which ran from March 2015 to October 2017, Campaign 2 which ran from January 2018 to June 2021, and Campaign 3 which began in October 2021 and is ongoing. Each campaign is set in the same shared world of Exandria, but follows a different set of characters created and played by the principal cast. ^[1] However, Campaign 3 saw the return of Sir Bertrand Bell for the first three episodes. Bell was a character previously seen in The Search for Grog and The Search for Bob, which are in medias res wrap-up specials for Campaign 1. Bell is played by Willingham in each instance. Campaign 3 also has characters crossing over from the spinoff anthology series Exandria Unlimited (ExU); with Johnson starring as Fearne Calloway, and O'Brien as Orym of the Air Ashari. Also, fellow ExU cast member Robbie Daymond guest stars as Dorian Storm early in the campaign. Campaign 3 has also seen a number of player characters from earlier campaigns cameo as non-player characters (NPCs) played by Mercer.

Matthew Mercer

Mercer is Critical Role's primary Dungeon Master (DM). As the DM, Mercer organizes the gameplay, describes the effects the player characters' actions have on the world and narrative, and plays the non-player characters (NPCs). ^{[5] [6]} In Campaign 3, during Aabria Iyengar's stint as a guest DM, Mercer plays Dariax Zaveon—his Exandria Unlimited character. Mercer is absent during the Campaign 3's special, Critical Role: Downfall—a three part special, airing mid-way through Campaign 3 and helmed by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

She befriended Grog after he was exiled from his raiding group for refusing to kill Wilhand. ^[8] Her hair turned white after being resurrected in the pre-stream game. She has a romantic interest in Percy, which is not reciprocated. Scanlan attempts to woo Pike throughout the campaign; it is not until the last few episodes that she gives him a chance.

Johnson's Campaign 2 character is Yasha Nydoorin, an aasimar barbarian who is exiled from her homeland in Xhorhas for marrying outside the strict arranged-marriage traditions of her clan. She is haunted by her time as the "Orphanmaker" and her involvement in a cult that gave its followers control over her. ^[9]

After an encounter with animated furniture in Jrusar, he introduced the group to Lord Ariks Eshteross. When he was separated from the party one evening, the dwarf Dugger ambushed and killed him – the party avenges him and later names the group the Bells Hells in his honor. After that character's death, Willingham plays as Chetney Pock O'Pea, a gnome blood hunter ^{[lower-alpha 11]} /rogue ^{[lower-alpha 12]} who is also a woodworking artisan.

Mollymauk is killed when the Mighty Nein attempts to free party members from a slaver group. After Molly's death, Jaffe plays Caduceus Clay, a firbolg cleric in service of the Wildmother, goddess of the wilderness. Caduceus is searching for a way to save his home from a magical blight. The Mighty Nein recruits Caduceus before the party's second attempt to rescue their captured members; he remains with the group because he believes it will aid in his journey.

Ray plays Beauregard "Beau" Lionett in Campaign 2. ^{[lower-alpha 8]} Beau is a human monk working for the Order of the Cobalt Soul to root out corruption in the Dwendalian Empire. ^[20] Beau is initially presented as being resentful of authority and anti-social, and rises to the rank of Expositor to carry out sensitive, covert investigations.

Campaign 3 sees Ray play Laudna, a resurrected human (known in-universe as a "hollow one" ^{[lower-alpha 15]} ) warlock and sorcerer ^{[lower-alpha 16]} who was killed during the massacre that began the Whitestone Rebellion in 810 PD and was resurrected by necromantic magics; she has since occasionally heard the voice of the deceased Delilah Briarwood. She wandered for decades before meeting Imogen in the Taloned Highlands; the two later travelled to Jrusar in 843 PD.

Later in the campaign, Laudna forms a romantic relationship with Imogen.

Acaba appears in Campaign 1 only; where he plays Tiberius Stormwind, a dragonborn sorcerer. Tiberius leaves the party after the first defeat of the Briarwoods and liberation of Whitestone. ^[3] He dies offscreen in the defence of Draconia, the city-state he is from, during an attack by Vougal—the white dragon of the Chroma Conclave. A statue is later erected in his honor. ^[21]

They initially believe that they were built by Dancer but the party learns FCG was a pre-Divergence Harmonious Aeormaton named Faithful Care-Giver. While they don't have memories of this time period, FCG fears that they participated in an assassination attempt known as the Care and the Culling after learning that they repressed memories of killing the other members of the Division of Public Benefit during a panic attack.
