Jayden Libran

Jayden Libran (born November 20, 1998) is an American voice actor and former puppeteer. He worked as a puppeteer before moving into voice acting, including contributing to Maxwell Atoms's shelved project Dead Meat. His puppetry background — where physical timing and character physicality are built into the performance — informs his approach to voice work: he treats delivery as a physical act rather than a purely vocal one.

His breakthrough in voice acting came with the role of Collin in Helluva Boss, the adult animated web series created by Vivienne Medrano as a spin-off of Hazbin Hotel. In addition to Collin, he voices various background characters across the series. Outside web animation, his film credits include The Happytime Murders (2018), The Death of Batman (2021), and Bryce (2023).

His performance as Collin runs across multiple character voices in the same series, requiring each one to land differently in a shared episode. His ability to differentiate background voices in Helluva Boss while keeping Collin distinct in ensemble scenes reflects the specific demands of multi-role web animation casting.

Puppeteering Background

Before voice acting, Libran worked as a professional puppeteer. His most notable puppetry credit was on Maxwell Atoms's Dead Meat, a project that was ultimately shelved. The discipline of puppetry — reading a scene physically, sustaining character behavior through extended takes, managing timing in live performance — transfers directly to voice acting in ways that purely vocal training does not always cover. In particular, it tends to produce actors who have a strong sense of when to hold a beat and when to move.

Web Series Work

In addition to Helluva Boss, Libran voiced Dickhead Weasel in Catching Up — a supporting character in the indie animated web series. The role sits in a different register than Collin: where Collin operates in the heightened chaos of Medrano's world, Catching Up works in a more grounded, slice-of-life key. Both credits reflect his ability to move between distinct tonal contexts without defaulting to the same performance choices.

Film Credits

The Happytime Murders (2018) is a puppetry-heavy dark comedy where Libran contributed to the additional crew, putting his background directly to use. The Death of Batman (2021) and Bryce (2023) mark his continued development across film formats alongside his web series and voice work.
