5	[[http://www.vicsworld.net/ Victor Joseph 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''. 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. He also narrated and directed the infamous commercial for Sakura Con ([[MemeticMutation GIRUGAMESH!]]).

7	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 23rd century Starfleet Captain Isaac Garrett in the ''Agents of Yesterday'' expansion.

9	Allegations of sexual harassment have followed Mignogna for decades, ultimately coming to a head in January 2019 after the release of ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly''. Multiple stories of sexual harassment perpetrated by Mignogna on convention goers, convention staffers, and fellow voice actors went viral through various social media channels and news sites. Since then, Mignogna was recast in almost all ongoing roles and ceased receiving new ones. A defamation lawsuit was filed by Mignogna against several of his accusers and Funimation, but was dismissed by the courts for lack of merit.
