On Thursday, July 11, 2025, Bryan Bucco, one of the VIP actors from Squid Game season 3, responded to comments under a TikTok video discussing the alleged poor acting of the VIPs. One of the questions regarding the actor's role in Squid Game 3 was about the English dialogue delivery of the VIP actors.
The show had five VIP actors, two from the USA, and the rest from countries such as the UK, France, and China. Therefore, all the VIP actors communicated through English.
However, many netizens noticed that even though the actors spoke in English, they used another voice actor's English dub over the actors' dialogue, which left many confused. Bryan Bucco agreed with the statement and confirmed that they did use an English dub even though the actors spoke in English:

“Those are the English dubs. Not the actors’ voices.”
When asked why even the Korean version of the show had an English dub, he responded he wasn't sure. The actor mentioned that the decision might be made due to regional differences. Bucco added that many of the actors' voices didn't match those of the voice actors; however, he still gave them credit for their efforts.
“I don’t even want to sh*t on my voice actor either because I think he did fine, I’m sure it wasn’t easy for him to say his lines either haha…” the VIP actor said as reported by Times Now.
The actor also agreed with another netizen's comment under the TikTok video that stated that VIPs were unnecessary and pointless in the third season of Squid Game. He stated that he also thought of the same and wished for the characters to have more depth or connect to the story. As per the Times Now report, he also partly called out Netflix for the same, remarking:
“Could be Netflix messing sh*t up?”
