Warning! Spoilers ahead for Castlevania season 4.
Castlevania season 4 is here, and its ensemble cast is loaded with talented voice actors. The show, which adapts the classic Konami video game series of the same name, has been a huge hit for Netflix, in large part because of the stellar vocal performances from its stars. Castlevania season 4’s cast includes many familiar faces, as well as some great new additions.
As previously announced by Netflix, season 4 marks the end of the Castlevania story. The adventures of Sypha Benaldes, Trevor Belmont and Alucard meet their conclusion by the final episode, though there are rumors of another series in the works in the Castlevania universe. Given that the video game stories cover generations of Belmonts, there’s a lot of material to work with for spinoffs.
For now though, Castlevania is at an endpoint. Fortunately, its final chapter features the same fantastic performances that have become one of the series’ trademarks, as well as some brand-new voices. Here’s what the Castlevania season 4 cast looks like in real life, and what else you may have seen them in.
Richard Armitage As Trevor Belmont
Richard Armitage still leads the Castlevania cast in season 4 as protagonist Trevor Belmont, though the story of the show has become much more ensemble-driven in its latter seasons. Armitage is perhaps most famous for playing the leading role of Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy of fantasy blockbusters. He’s also portrayed major characters in shows like The Stranger, North & South, and Hannibal.
Alejandra Reynoso As Sypha Belnades
The voice of Speaker magician Sypha Belnades is one of the less-established members of the Castlevania cast, though her fantastic work in the role will hopefully lead to her to many more projects as her career continues. Sypha has become one of the most popular character in the whole series, largely due to Alejandra Reynoso’s excellent voice work. She’s also well-accustomed to the world of video games, having voiced characters in major games like Red Dead Redemption II and DOTA 2, where she plays the hammer-wielding hero Dawnbreaker. Perhaps Reynoso can reprise her role if Dawnbreaker appears in Netflix’s DOTA: Dragon’s Blood anime series.
James Callis As Alucard
James Callis rounds out Castlevania’s “big three” as Alucard, the lonely, introspective dhampir son of Dracula and Lisa Tepes. Callis does a wonderful job in the role in season 4, as he has since the show’s beginning. Outside of Castlevania, he is best known for playing Gaius Baltar in the Battlestar Galactica reboot series and Tom in the Bridget Jones movies. He’s also appeared in TV shows like Syfy’s Eureka and 12 Monkeys.
Theo James As Hector
Theo James reprises his role as Hector in the Castlevania season 4 cast, continuing the tragic story of the season 3’s troubled and abused forgemaster.

Nighy returns as part of the Castlevania season 4 cast to continue Germain’s mystical quest. The star’s other notable roles are too numerous to name all of, but he is perhaps best known for playing Billy Mack in the classic romantic comedy Love Actually and Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Nighy has also appeared in movies like Hot Fuzz, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and the Harry Potter franchise. In addition, he is a prominent stage actor and former Tony Award nominee.
