Early life and education
Le was born on March 12, 1999 in Hanoi, Vietnam.[1] He moved to the United States at the age of 10 and learned English by watching cartoons and playing video games. He had an admiration of anime, and often drew Kakashi Hatake from Naruto, initially being aspired to become a manga artist before shifting his focus to acting and voice acting. Unable to afford formal acting classes, he began studying his favorite performances to recreate them. In an interview with Tokyo Weekender, he stated that he would "do 16-18 hour days of just practicing and doing auditions."[2]

He began his voice acting career in 2003, providing the voice for a male Hoyoung character in the MMORPG MapleStory. He returned as a voice actor in the 2010 game Heroes of Newerth, playing the character Punk Rampage. He also voice acted in his first anime projects as Seijuro Akashi in Kuroko's Basketball and Alexis Deux from Record of Grancrest War.[3][4] He achieved his breakout role in 2019 when he provided the voice for Zenitsu Agatsuma in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which became one of the highest-grossing anime franchises worldwide.[5][6] In October 2022, he and voice actor Jonah Scott launched the YouTube channel VO to Go, which was supported by Sony Music Entertainment Japan and focused on exploring the voice acting industry.[7]
Le voiced Manjiro "Mikey" Sano in the English dub of Tokyo Revengers, and in a 2021 interview with Comic Book Resources, Le discussed his connection to Mikey's duality, noting that he found aspects of himself in the character and emphasized the importance of compassion for others.[8] In May 2023, he was announced as part of the dubbing cast of Mashle, voicing the character Mash Burnedead.[9][10][11] He appeared at an Anime NYC panel in August 2024 alongside anime staff and the band Creepy Nuts, dressed in Mash's school robe and holding cream puffs. During the panel, he said that he resonated with his outcast character and noted that portraying him was challenging due to his monotone voice.[12]
In March 2024, Le was announced the be the English voice of Sung Jin-woo, the main character of Solo Leveling.[13] In an interview with CBR, he mentioned that he had taken cues from the original Japanese voice actor Taito Ban, who served as a significant source of inspiration for his performance.[14][15] At the end of its season 1 run, he responded to fans who threatened him over his delivery of the dialogue "Arise." He jokingly suggested that he might change it to something different while urging fans to ground their expectations.[16][17] He was nominated for Best Voice Artist Performance (English) at the 9th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, ultimately winning the category as Solo Leveling won multiple other awards.[18][19] At the 4th Astra TV Awards in 2024, when Solo Leveling won the award for Best Anime Series, Le accepted the award on behalf of Aniplex, A-1 Pictures, and Crunchyroll.[20] He reprised his role as Sung Jin-Woo in Solo Leveling: ReAwakening, a theatrical recap and preview of the second season.[21]
In August 2024, it was announced that Le would join the cast of Dandadan, voicing the character Jin "Jiji" Enjoji starting from the 11th episode of the first season.[4][22] He praised director Alex von David's adaptation of the series and expressed his trust in von David's interpretation of the show and the characters, stating that he has done an excellent job of adapting the material.[23]
