Johnny Yong Bosch may have been a part of the Devil May Cry franchise for nearly 20 years, but that doesn't mean he was prepared to play the half-demon hero Dante in Netflix's new anime adaptation – mostly because no one told him it existed.
"I auditioned for something that was an unnamed, or untitled, project, and the character name was David," Bosch, who also plays the bad boy Nero in the Devil May Cry games, tells me during a recent Zoom interview. "So, when I found out that I got the role and that it was Devil May Cry and Dante, I was like, 'Wait a second.' I had to pause a minute and be like, 'You guys know that I have been a part of this series before?'"
