->"Because Vic Mignogna ''loves'' the ladies, and the ladies ''love'' Vic Mignogna."

On the live action side, Mignogna most notably spearheaded a FanSequel WebVideo series to ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' called ''WebVideo/StarTrekContinues'', where he took on the role of Captain Kirk himself. The project, boasting some pretty impressive production values, was well received by both ''Star Trek'' fans and critics alike, and praised for staying true to the style and spirit of original ''Trek'', not least in the portrayal of Kirk; a performance which has proved to many that Mignogna's talents are not just limited to voice acting and that he can actually hold his own just fine in live action as well. In probable homage to this, ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' cast him as Captain Isaac Garrett in the TOS Starfleet origin story.

!!Western Animation

* RelationshipVoiceActor: In the Japanese side of things, [[Anime/ShowByRock he]] [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub shared]] [[Manga/VampireKnight four]] [[Anime/{{Free}} roles]] with Creator/MamoruMiyano

->''[[NoIndoorVoice Aaah!]] [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged My poor vocal chords!]]''

* Giant fairy Pepperoni in the ''VideoGame/ManaKhemia2FallOfAlchemy'' game

* BerserkButton: His most famous roles involve characters that have Berserk Buttons that become [[LargeHam running jokes]]. He is therefore well known for extremely funny screaming. Notable character roles include Ed, Ikkaku, Tamaki, Mao and Broly.

** Honestly, it's shocking he hasn't given himself a heart attack from all the screaming he does for his roles.

* Jabu in ''Manga/SaintSeiya''

Is one of Creator/MamoruMiyano's English speaking counterparts, [[Anime/ShowByRock having]] [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub shared]] [[Manga/VampireKnight four]] [[Anime/{{Free}} roles]] with him to date.

* NiceGuy: Vic is considered by many of his fans to be one of the kindest, easily approachable voice actors around and absolutely adores his fans.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Counter to [[{{Bishonen}} the type of roles he's known for]], Mignogna is in his ''50s'' and has been professional voice acting in Anime since the late-90's.
* RedShirt: His song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TA-QJ2d3kk Soldier A]]" is a tribute to all those nameless characters who appear in shows just to die.

* DirectedByCastMember: Vic has served as the ADR Director for Funimation's dubs for a few episodes of ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' and the entirety ''LightNovel/JuuniTaisen'', though in both cases, Vic only had minor character roles.
* DoingItForTheArt:
** Creator/VizMedia couldn't ''believe'' he wanted to voice Ikkaku (a minor character) in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' when he lives in Texas and would need to spend the money himself to travel back and forth to Los Angeles for only a few days just for those recording sessions! Anime dubbing doesn't pay a lot (barely an entire long-term trip), and companies there always employ someone local. Vic answered that he didn't care, and that he simply loved to do it.
** Apparently, he's living there now, which allows him to do some voice acting work in LA. WordOfGod says that he also has his dubbing equipment in his home, thus allowing him to work with the LA studios, Creator/FUNimation, and even northeastern dubbing companies (seeing as he is going to play a character in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'').
** Vic had always wanted to do a voice in ''Pokémon'' but had never gotten a chance. But when he was in New Jersey for a convention, he was apparently contacted by The Pokémon Company to come to New York and voice minor character Professor Icarus. Since then, he's made several other appearances as minor trainers, then got a larger role as Keldeo in the fifteenth movie. All of this was done when he lives ''clear on the other side of the country.''
* FanNickname: Vic Mcderp-a-derp thanks to ''Creator/LittleKuriboh.'' Or, if you prefer, ....... Creator/YuriLowenthal.
** Vic Mceggnogna.

* OneOfUs:
** Big sci-fi fan; and really got into FMA and Ouran (The latter before it was even licensed. Thanks [[Creator/CaitlinGlass Caitlin]]!).
** Also did a spoof commercial for ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', which he used the warlock class as a base for.
*** Plus, he adds he can even do [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist alchemy]].
*** He said that while he likes the game, he never actually played it when making the commercial. The footage of the gameplay in there is from a friends' console.
** And he's a fan of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. Even appearing in one of Creator/LittleKuriboh's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaFp2MwE9Qs videos]].
*** That said, he still doesn't like to be called "Vic [=McNigNog=]", a mispronunciation made popular in some of Little Kuriboh's videos.
** And a ''huge'' fan of ''Franchise/StarTrek'', leading to massive {{Squee}} on his part when he got to direct and act in an episode of the fanmade series ''New Voyages''. And of course, he has also spearheaded the production of ''WebVideo/StarTrekContinues'', which was highly praised by both fans and critics and even got ApprovalOfGod from Rod Roddenberry, son of Creator/GeneRoddenberry.
** Apparently he wandered around Tekkoshocon 2010 as a Stormtrooper so people wouldn't recognize him. At the FMA VA Panel he admitted it backfired as more people stopped him for photos due to the costume.
** He's also dressed as Cloud Strife before, as seen [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=Vic+Mignogna+Cloud#/dp7uv3 here]] and [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=Vic+Mignogna+Cloud#/dl2tev here]].
** Often appears as a celebrity guest on Creator/{{Greggo}}'s various convention game shows.
* PlayingAgainstType: Although his vocal range is varied, he plays Akechi Mitsuhide in the ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' series, who's an AxCrazy CombatSadomasochist.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: With Caitlin, Laura, and Travis. And now [[Creator/ToddHaberkorn Todd]]. They're in a [[FriendlyRivalry rivalry]] where they try to one-up the other with video shorts. Coincidentally (or not depending on how you slant it), all these voice actors started in Texas and are now living and working in Los Angeles.
** Also shared four roles with Creator/MamoruMiyano (Tamaki Suoh in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Shuu☆Zo in ''Anime/ShowByRock'', Rin Matsuoka in ''Anime/{{Free}}: Eternal Summer'', and Zero in ''Manga/VampireKnight'')
* TalkingToHimself: For several seconds in ''Ouran'' Episode 17...
-->'''Vic:''' But more importantly, I play the dog. The role I spent my life preparing for, Antoinette. So for the rest of this panel, you must address me as "Antoinette". Or "Monsieur Puppy".
** Played straight for ''Manga/VampireKnight''.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Vic was to be cast in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' as Orochimaru, which eventually went to Creator/SteveBlum.
** In the supposed Creator/ADVFilms dub of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', he would have been Viral, which would have made him the English equivalent of Creator/NobuyukiHiyama.
** Another ill-fated Creator/ADVFilms dub: Vic was supposed to be Keroro in ''Manga/SgtFrog''. He at least got to be him in a brief cameo for a preview of a ''Manga/LuckyStar'' episode.
** He also tried out for [[Anime/CodeGeass Gino Weinberg]], but lost out to Creator/DaveWittenberg and ended up as AxCrazy Luciano Bradley instead.
** And he was offered the part of Watanuki in ''Manga/XxxHolic'', but choose to play [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle Fai]] instead.

* HeteronormativeCrusader: Vic Mignogna has run into ''issues'' with the {{Creator/CLAMP}} fandom over his belief that a very, very blatantly homosexual character in ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' is not, in fact, homosexual. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment That's as far as we're going on that.]]

** Also, his voice as Broly is nigh unrecognizable compared to some of his more famous roles, and he's capable of doing a near-perfect vocal impersonation of Yoda.

* PlayingAgainstType: Although his vocal range is varied, he plays Akechi Mitsuhide in the ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' series who is an AxCrazy CombatSadomasochist.

[[http://www.vicsworld.net/ Vic Mignogna]] (''"min-YAH-na"'') is a voice actor who has managed to make himself quite a niche in the {{Anime}} community. Vic started out as Dark Mousy in ''Manga/DNAngel'' although most recognize him from his role as everyone's favorite badass [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial reasonable height-wise person]] Edward Elric in both anime adaptations of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', and quickly garnered a loyal fanbase. He's one of those guys that you just can't pigeonhole due to the diversity of his roles (though he frequently gets cast as characters who happen to be blond). Also happens to be quite the professional singer and songwriter, with several anime songs under his belt as well as a few albums.
