""Because Vic Mignogna loves the ladies, and the ladies love Vic Mignogna.""

- Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series "Second Anniversary Spectacularamathon"

Vic Mignogna ("min-NYA-na", short "a"'s) is a voice actor who has managed to make himself quite a niche in the Anime community. Vic started out as everyone's favorite Badass reasonable height-wise person Ed Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, the 2003 anime adaptation of the manga by the same name, 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 tends to play blonds). Also happens to be quite the professional singer and songwriter, with several anime songs under his belt as well as a few albums.

Aside from inventing the Lucky Dance song for the English dub of Bleach (where he plays Ikkaku Madarame), he and FMA co-star Aaron Dismuke formed their own "fanbase incarnate" in the form of the Risembool Rangers, which occasionally follow them from con to con. Travis Willingham's Miniskirt Army is known to be their rival. He was seen enjoying Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series creator Little Kuriboh doing a spoof of Vic (along with Dan Green and Johnny Yong Bosch), and also narrated the commercial for Sakura Con (GIRUGAMESH!). Has now moved permanently to California to pursue more varied roles and other opportunities outside FU Nimation.

Has a YouTube account.

Tropes about his roles and Vic himself:
"Fan: You're older than my dad!
 * Big Brother Mentor: To Aaron Dismuke, which is a case of Life Imitates Art and Intergenerational Friendship.
 * Berserk Button: What Ed, Ikkaku, Tamaki, Mao, and Broly have in common.
 * Bishonen: Most of his roles.
 * Dangerous Forbidden Technique: His Broly voice is impressive, but hurts so much he rarely does it anymore. He was extremely dismayed once, after having thought he was done with the roles after the movies, had to do Broly's voice for the video games.
 * AH, MY POOR VOCAL CORDS!
 * Christian Rock: Some of his recorded songs could qualify as this if they actually got airplay on Christian Rock stations. Examples include "Could Be an Angel" and "Nothing I Wouldn't Give"
 * Mr. Fanservice: Besides voicing them, he himself is an example. He has a gigantic fan following of girls that pretty much watch whatever he's in.
 * Large Ham: He has played several, but Broly is the most notable.
 * Mr. Anime-Cosplayer Guy: How ironic is it that one of the Real Fans Of Genius videos is about this, and Vic has cosplayed as several characters himself (recently donning the Cross Academy uniform to reveal his role as Zero)!
 * Man of a Thousand Voices: He has a wide vocal range.
 * This can be best seen in his live-action appearances in Fallout Nuka Break, where he plays the Narrator (in his best Ron Perlman impression) and two different merchants.
 * Mundane Made Awesome: One of his songs, "The Legend of Middle Tennessee", is a mock-heroic account of how he won a dodgeball game against Travis Willingham.
 * Older Than They Look: Can you believe he's pushing 50?

Vic: SHUT UP!"


 * Red Shirt: His song "Soldier A" is a tribute to them.
