The English dub cast roles, as shown at the end of Layer 01

In the English language dub of Serial Experiments Lain, the credits of the show do not assign specific character roles to each English dub voice actor. Instead, all cast members were grouped into a single credit, "English Dub Voice Talents".

Because of this, fans of the show have attempted to guess or ask voice actors for the role they played in the show. Since the information/undertaking is considered unofficial and a fan project, it has been separated from the main Layer 01 Credits page.

Note: Many of the voice actors credited in the English dub of the show were not credited under their real names, and instead used a variety of aliases. In these cases, their birth name has been included in parentheses after their credited name. For more information on voice actors and their use of aliases, you can read Why Do Voice Actors Use Aliases?, posted by the website Moonlighting Voice.
