I've met Vic a few times already and he is just a really nice guy overall. My interactions have been nothing but pleasant.

Vic has actually played Edward three times as of now: They brought him back for the English dub of the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie.

Normally I would agree with you. I’ve seen him do a lot of nice things for fans at conventions, such as staying long past his autograph session to sign. But I’ve also seen him do some creepy things, especially when around young, possibly underage, cute girls/women. My Vic story is that, during one of his appearances at SakuraCon, I was at Cheesecake Factory waiting in the lobby for a table when he came in. He initially was pissed off that they wouldn’t seat him right away, even though it was Easter and many others were already waiting for a table. In front of a full waiting room with many children present, he gets a call, becomes enraged and yelled “I don’t give an F—K what you have to do, just clear my schedule.” Yeah, no. This is not a pleasant man in the slightest. If you have to take a call like that in a restaurant, the courteous thing would be to step outside. And if you can’t do that, watch your language. The pleasant act is just that, an act. If it weren’t, why are there so many stories by other, most women attendees, who have seen another side of him. I doubt all of us are seeking attention, and if we were, why would we have a Vic story when we could focus our efforts on getting a good, TMZ-worthy story with a real celebrity? You have to ask yourself,, if this man is so pleasant, why have several conventions banned him? |

I just want to thank Vic for his work and for doing that interview.
As for....
Which conventions have banned him? You can't throw something like that out there without specifics. Where was he banned, and when? |

My local convention in Boise that is happening this month has him as a guest this year for the 3rd time I believe. Another convention I frequent every year in Salt Lake City has him as a guest again this year and it's his 4th time there I believe as well. Since I go to both of these conventions every year I've seen him interact with fans a lot. He does give his fans hugs a lot, and his fans do tend to skew younger, but that doesn't mean he's a creeper necessarily. His fans don't seem to mind either. He still gets invited to cons. He still is getting work in the anime industry. The people he works with like him, his fans like him, and quite frankly I like him. I'm a 28 year old heterosexual male, so I'm not one of his obsessive fans either. |

Great interview. That said, Mignogna is either a person you love or hate. I met him at a convention once and he was a really nice guy (Todd Haberkorn kept holding up his line). That said, he's had his share of controversy including those regarding religion and homophobia.

Everyone has their bad days. I don't think it's fair to judge him and say that any niceness is an act based on one phone call. |

One of my teachers worked with him on a project (Star Trek). I go to an animation school and he had done the special effects for the series. I have been told he is like a bad girlfriend who won't leave you the hell alone calling non-stop.
However, he says he's a nice guy outside of work, great to fans, but a nightmare to work with. So I believe that phone call happened. No doubt about it. |

Every Vic M. interview or article that involves him always involves people talking crap about how he acted at a con or whatever when the article really has nothing to do with it. Leave it alone. I’ve had bad experiences with some VA’s, but I don’t keep bringing it up in every article they’re in.

Kinda ironically I think out of the recasts in Digimon Vic ended up sounding the least like his character's original voice, I really wish they would have switched his and Johnny Yong Bosch's roles in this one.
When the heck did this happen? I'm not a fan of dubbed live action but this would be kind of fun to see. |

Just went up on Netflix a few days ago! Caitlin Glass and Aaron Dismuke reprised their roles too! |

Even to this day, only a handful of anime series are in the mainstream. I certainly haven’t been seeing any non-anime fans making a big deal out of Digimon, Black Clover, Sailor Moon, or Hunter x Hunter. The only merchandise of anime series (that can be found beyond the “Anime & Manga” section, btw) I’ve been seeing in stores lately are from Pokémon, Pokémon, Beyblade Burst, Dragon Ball Super, Yo-kai Watch (though stores are stuck with a ton of Yo-kai Watches, figures and plushies that no one wants to buy), Pokémon, and more Pokémon.

Could we have gotten a better mugshot that appears on the side of every page on the website than that? I feel like he's staring at me. Menacingly.

For me, I find his voice doesn't suit many of the roles he is cast to play. He does have a good voice for voice acting, but I don't particularly enjoy it for anime. |
