## Career

Papenbrook is best known for his portrayals of Kirito in Sword Art Online, Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan, Inosuke Hashibira in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist, Rokuro Enmado in Twin Star Exorcists, Masaomi Kida in Durarara!! series, Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Shirou Emiya in Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, Meliodas & Zeldris in The Seven Deadly Sins, Red in Pokémon Origins, Adol Christin in the Ys series, Kaito in Ajin: Demi-Human, and Makoto Naegi and Nagito Komaeda in the Danganronpa series. In animation, he provides the voice of Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Since 2019, he is the current voice of Silver the Hedgehog in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He also voices Kaname Isaki in Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea. As of 2022, he voices Drastic in the podcast Sky Brother Force.

## Personal life

Papenbrook and his wife, Samantha, have three children together: a daughter named Ella Papenbrook (born September 5, 2015), a son named Griffin Papenbrook (born January 19, 2019) and a second daughter named Margo Papenbrook (born August 30, 2021).
Papenbrook began training in Chuck Norris' system of Tang Soo Do (also known as American Tang Soo Do) under his original instructor Steve Clark, and would later train and receive his fourth-degree black belt in the system under Clark's instructor Dennis Ichikawa. He is a three-time kickboxing champion with over 60 fights to his name. He occasionally works as a kickboxing instructor at the House of Champions Academy of Martial Arts in Van Nuys, California.
Initially, it was claimed that Bryce Papenbrook competed semi-professionally in e-sports with a focus on the game GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64 before becoming a well known voice actor. At Awesome Con on March 10, 2024, Bryce Papenbrook was asked about his semi-professional e-sports career, to which he revealed that this was a fabricated story likely instigated by his "best friend" since they played GoldenEye 007 together.
