[http://www.vicsworld.net/ 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]] [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|reasonable height-wise person]] Ed Elric in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', the 2003 anime adaptation of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|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|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 ([[Memetic Mutation|GIRUGAMESH!]]). Has now moved permanently to California to pursue more varied roles and other opportunities outside [[FUNimation]].
 
In 2019 he was replaced as Qrow Branwen in ''[[RWBY]]'' because of accusations of improper behavior with a female fan at a convention - which had not been proven in court. [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-01-30/far-from-perfect-fans-recount-unwanted-affection-from-voice-actor-vic-mignogna/.142212 Other allegations against him were made at the same time], including homophobia, antisemitism, rude behavior, and making unwanted physical advances on female con-goers. [[Convicted by Public Opinion]], his star fell. [[Funimation]] stopped hiring him as a voice actor the same year; he [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-04-19/vic-mignogna-sues-funimation-jamie-marchi-monica-rial-ronald-toye/.145898 sued for defamation], [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-10-04/vic-mignogna-civil-case-against-funimation-voice-actress-monica-rial-ron-toye-dismissed/.151881 his lawsuit was dismissed by the court], and [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-27/judge-rules-vic-mignogna-must-pay-usd238042-to-defendants-in-lawsuit/.153749 he was ordered to pay the defendants' court costs].
 
His Wikipedia page does not list him as having had any roles between the 2019 court case and 2023, two years after he started his own dubbing studio.
