Past jobs

Okay, this artical says that Vic was an English teacher before being a voice actor, in another you tube video I watched he was telling a story that he used to be a cop (At least that's what the description said). so the question, how many jobs has he had? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.222.145 (talk) 12:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Dont worry 74.192... a description below a YouTube video cannot be used on Wikipedia... Best, RobertMfromLI | User Talk 16:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I added a link to his resume to confirm the police officer part. Can't seem to find the English teacher. AngusWOOF (talk) 20:30, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I had to resort to his bio on Risembool Rangers (Vic's official fanclub) for the teacher part, and it said he was a Speech and Drama teacher in Florida before he was a police officer. Changed that part, but if someone wants to put in a CN for the actual school that'd be okay. AngusWOOF (talk) 13:52, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

"Mignogna taught drama and speech in Jacksonville, Florida" -- As far as I can tell, this is false. None of the citations here support it, and the most relevant thing to talk about should really be his work in Lynchburg, Virginia as a Director/Producer for music videos at the local church (per his resume). The only online references I can find that talk about Vic working in Jacksonville seem to be sites that copy directly from here, even including the same citation to the same fan-made bio (oddly, neither the archived version of that page, nor the current one make any reference to teaching OR Florida). I only bring this up because it seems to be confusing some folks on Twitter right now, lol... Not a Wikipedia editor myself; hope someone can clarify. Thnx. 124.171.136.23 (talk) 09:15, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Bias

This article is heavily heavily biased and really needs to be rewritten. It's nowhere near of Wikipedia standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.101.158 (talk) 05:57, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

It's ok if you do not like the guy or the roles he's played, but please do not continuously vandalize his entry. 72.76.16.129 (talk) 01:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Brothers Song FMA (English version)

Shouldn't info based on this song be in the article too? He recorded the English version, which later became popular on the Internet. I believe somebody should add it. —Vic729 05:21 November 29th, 2006 (UTC) This has been added recently because it is now licensed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.35.225.229 (talk) 19:18, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Age

Vic doesn't want people to know his age. I think we need to make that clear. At all the conventions he goes to, he never tells his age or tells what year he was born. The Quidam 22:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the really late reply, but what source do you have that on? Since Vic never officially confirmed his age or birth year he was born in all conventions, adding the birth year and age might be offensive. Greg Jones II 19:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you on that as well. No one knows Vic age for sure except for his mom. The Quidam 18:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

His age is blatantly RIGHT on his YouTube profile. I don't see what the problem is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.46.190.57 (talk) 20:02:27, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

Vic just doesn't like his fans knowing his age. The Quidam 23:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Well if he didn't want that, then maybe he shouldn't've gotten a YouTube profile that shows his age is 44 for all the internet to see. This isn't the Risembool Rangers site, a person's age on a wiki article sounds more important and relavent as opposed to "such and such is interested in playing a part in an anime that's nowhere near being casted yet!" as far as I'm concerned. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.47.209.166 (talk)

Its not there on the YouTube page. I don't see it! Besides, that page is also run by some of the memembers of his fan club. I doubt they would put his age up there.The Quidam 20:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

While it is certainly possible to try to assertain his age, Mr. Mignogna does seem to prefer his age not be mentioned or brought up. As I understand it the general idea when doing biographical information about a living person is to try to not cause offense. Certainly we all have things in our past or parts of our lives that we wish to have remain private. It seems that if he prefers to not have it mentioned it should be left off, if someone really wants to know that can go to other sites and find it. Just my $1.50, wow I remember when it was $0.10 (Ishvarlan 04:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC))

If Vic doesn't want his age known, mayhaps we should remove the birth year a well and only leave the month day. It's pretty easy to figure out his age if the year is supplied.

I just want it for the record that his full age is listed on his IMDB profile and I'm not going for this "He dosen't want it lets get his fan cronies to edit wikipedia for his own gratification." I also think celebrities don't want people with cameras following them when they go to the gas station but thats still going to happen. So should we cowtow to a voice actor? No. Personal I think editing wikipedia for one's own personal ajenda is considered vandalism in my oppinion. October 22, 2007

Seriously keep deleting his age. I'll just keep posting it back up. Plus if your so defensive about his age being posted then why is there a link to his IMDB page with his birth year posted?

So? That does not mean a thing! How do you know for sure that year is even right? The Quidam 19:57, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

How do you know for sure that it is wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.166.232 (talk) 22:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Look, if he doesn't want his age to be known it should be respected. I see no reason for that myself, age is arbitary, he's got enormous charisma and I enjoy his voice acting. -GLoRToR- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.3.232.6 (talk) 18:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Leave the age and date in place; information should not cease to be available for such a personal inconvenience. I'm certain several corperate pages and real celebrity files have information about things they have done that they, too, would prefer to be less immediately available on a public and popular source as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.237.6.251 (talk) 11:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Removal of section.

"At anime conventions, Vic Mignogna takes great pains to leave a good impression of himself in the minds of his following. He enthusiastically greets his fans at conventions and spares a lot of time for autograph seekers. He also interacts with his guests by telling stories and doing character imitations. He said at the Toronto Anime Con recently that he is a huge anime fan since the days of Voltron and Speed Racer. At Acen he added on a 4 hour autograph session and an extra panel due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of the fans there."

This is entirely outside of the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia and will be removed. Taiki (talk) 20:39, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Youtube Video?

I want to make this very clear. Vic Mignogna did a parody WoW commercial that he released on his youtube channel; this was not put out by Blizzard, and he was not paid for it. This cannot be used as a credited role on this profile unless you can find me a reliable independent source mentioning this as a notable role. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 17:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

you prove first it is one , and then prove the others aren't. becuase you are just a hater and a piss-ant! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.129.80.144 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 12 December 2008

Wikipedia's policy on Biographies of living persons states that: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space."' I don't have to prove that the information is false; the burden of proof rests on those wanting to add the information, they must demonstrate that the information is true through a reliable reference. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 10:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and directly from the description of the video: "This is not an official WoW commercial, just something Vic did for fun for his fans :)" [[1]] --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 10:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree with this assessment. The credit does not belong on this article, and edit-warring to make it so won't help. nneonneo ^talk 19:32, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Its NOT an official role because I wrote the script and made all the WoW clips for him. I was never paid by Blizzard, you can ask Vic yourself concerning this. Vic doesnt even play WoW. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.9.10.3 (talk) 14:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

FMA continuation

um sorry if I am bugging anyone with this but, today I heard according to vic, travis and Laura there will be a continuation of FMA and I don't know if it should be added as a 3rd season or series 2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs) 04:17, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the production of the second season has been confirmed, generally though we don't try to predict things about future shows. While its likely Vic will have the same role, its far too early to be thinking about listing that here. If you're curious about the show, ANN had [this]. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 08:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

ok then, I will just go to the sac anime con and try to get proof, like some recording —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs) 17:07, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

That wouldn't be permitted either as that would clearly fall under original research. Besides, there no information that the second season will be licensed in English. So don't put the cart before the horse. --Farix (Talk) 17:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

umm it would be more of a 3rd season or second series and, dam it! there must be some way of proving facts with what he said —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs) 17:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

What who said? I wouldn't matter even if Vic said he was going to play Edward again, because it would still be speculation. I don't think they've even announced the Japanese cast, let alone talk about licensing an English version. Its too early to even be thinking along these lines, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 18:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

And that's the bug in Dragonmaster88's reasoning. There are no facts to prove. --Farix (Talk) 18:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

yeah and it really sad and by the way I just asked Vic about vega and he said it was the UK version of Street Fighter 2 that he was in —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmm.. was that questioned? AnimeNewsNetwork credits him as Vega, their source was IMDB. Anyway, both are considered reliable enough to use for voice credits like this. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 06:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

yeah but the only thing I can figure either he was in one of the movies or the games, because he definately wasn't in Street fighter II V when I was watching it on my box set —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

The exact title of the IMDB credit is: "Street Fighter 2, Victory: Volume VIII, Fatal Confrontations (2001) (V)", ANN specifies that its the ADV dub in the credit; it also says "he U.S. version is released by Manga Entertainment and dubbed by Animaze, while the U.K. version is released and dubbed by ADV Films.". You probably have the Animaze version, or some obscure english version. Anyway, here are the links: ann and imdb --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 05:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

ok so that confirms it, he was right when he said he was in the UK version of Street Fighter II V. thanks for the link and sorry about this section slipping a bit--defender of the facts! (talk) 06:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Is this a true fact?

Is it true that when Vic Mignogna does the voice of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, he uses helium on his voice when he does one of Edward's rants whenever Edward gets called short?

I want to put this in the article if it's true.

Tman7776 (talk) 06:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so, becuase he does his short rants in his normal voice at the convention I saw him at =^-^=--I am an oktau and a baka at times but deny proven facts and you got a fight 06:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs)

Even if it was true, without a reliable source, it can't be added to the article. --Farix (Talk) 12:35, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

No, he does not use helium, just water. :) (Kat) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.35.225.229 (talk) 19:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

The helium balloon trick was something he started doing at one of the conventions. You can look at youtube 'vic mignogna helium rants', and the earliest one was around 2008. He did not do this when I saw him at Anime Expo 2006 (Vic's panel following the FMA movie premiere). AngusWOOF (talk) 03:30, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Please add more meat to the article

Theirs nothing about his early life, and it looks like most of the article is too focused on his Anime roles. There has to be more verifiable stuff that can be added in.--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 08:34, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I can call him and ask him about notable things if you want, and then find citations for it? I dont actually know how one would find citations on his early life though...

RobertMfromLI | User Talk STP2: Producer/Gaffer/Webmaster 06:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. It is up to you to fully read this to understand why adding in info needs to be sourced. And also, Living persons can contribute to their biographies, but in certain cases.--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 10:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

This was mostly a joke. I thought it obvious. I also thought my edit history of this page would make that even more obvious. Apparently not. Besides the fact that I (other than reverting vandalism) do not involve myself with adding content to this page as it may be viewed as COI since Vic is a friend of mine.

That aside, me getting valid information from Vic to ensure the article isn't skewed or simply a list of anime dubbing roles isn't a problem. And here's why. (1) I have NO intentions of adding it. (2) I would expect no one else would add it without finding appropriate references to back up the additions. And (3) since I feel I have a COI on this, (as Vic is a friend of mine) see #1 - anything suggested would be listed on the Talk page here.

RobertMfromLI | User Talk 18:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I found a news article that has info on Vic's early life. Some of the info is redundant with his resume and other published sources but at least it's written by someone who isn't directly in the anime industry. AngusWOOF (talk) 21:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Vic was NOT in Vampire Knight...

Hello all,

To those of you who seem determined to keep re-adding Vampire Knight, you should know that (contrary to the rumor going around), Vic was not in it. Besides online research to that effect, I have personally confirmed this with him today at 14:37 EST.

Best, RobertMfromLI | User Talk 03:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Vic,

Were you in:

• Vampire Knight as Aido Hanabusa?

Thanks,

Vic Mignogna to me

Feb 21 (7 days ago)

NOPE... that's a rumor that some fan posted.

:)

Of course, anyone can simply jump onto Facebook and ask the guy personally. He does have a real Facebook page that he is quite active on.

RobertMfromLI | User Talk 00:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

He announced his role as Zero in Vampire Knight a few months later at the cons. I'll post a reference on the main page. AngusWOOF (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like an advertisement for the fanclub

Fans of Vic's many roles in different series created a fan club for Vic. These fans are called Risembool Rangers and the fan club is open to anyone who wants to join.

At first it was like, "Wait, why is it important that anyone can join?" And then it was like, "Wait, how does having a fanclub contribute to fame? Most famous people have fan clubs." --68.161.143.194 (talk) 02:04, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Hannerlovesong, 29 June 2011

hi my name is hannah davis and i don't know if you know this but vic isn't in the fairy odd parents so please fix

Hannerlovesong (talk) 01:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Not done: Looking at the IMDB page listed there it does show that he is a cast member of A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! as well as here. Jnorton7558 (talk) 06:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 96.245.12.239, 11 July 2011

The Fairly Odd Parents Movie has been aired and Vic Mignogna was not in the credits list. The source information at IMDB is incorrect. IMDB has been questioned as a "reliable source" for Wikipedia's purposes in the past. In this instance, it is incorrect. I suggest that this information be removed until a more reliable source can confirm it as a role Vic Mignogna has played. Like I said, the movie has now aired and he is not in it, nor in the credits. Thank you.

96.245.12.239 (talk) 11:24, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, I removed it. It can be added back in if a more reliable source is found. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:14, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

primary workplaces in the anime world

I wanted to discuss

1) primarily known for his work for ADV Films, Funimation Entertainment, and Viz Media.

2) primarily known for his work for ADV Films, Bang Zoom! Entertainment, Funimation Entertainment, OkraTron 5000, Seraphim Digital and Viz Media.

Could someone provide evidence that he had some lead/major roles in the Bang Zoom productions? I just don't picture him being in the same acting pool of the usual L.A. actors like Crispin Freeman, Kari Wahlgren, Stephanie Sheh, Steve Blum and Wendee Lee.

OkraTron 5000 is Chris Sabat's studio where their productions point to Funimation, so all those Dragonball Z and One Piece songs are still more strongly related to Funimation than to OkraTron itself.

As for Seraphim Digital, that's possible he might have some roles, but are they big ones on the level of his lead in Ouran High School Host Club?

I'm sure he's worked for a lot of companies, as that's one of his major goals in the anime world, but that's already detailed in the bio.

Referencing from the Risenbool Rangers site

Is that really a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.85.147 (talk) 10:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I've added some published interviews confirming the details that were originally referencing just the fan site. AngusWOOF (talk) 16:25, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

The leading roles in bold crap.

Is that really needed? It seems to serve no real purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SoLongWith (talk • contribs) 09:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

It's a practice from Anime News Network, but I was thinking of redoing the entire filmography so it's more like this: Wikipedia:Actors#Filmography_tables

Per the recent discussion Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga#De-bolding_of_roles, the bolding has been removed. AngusWOOF (talk) 21:30, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Vic Mignogna in Naruto Ultimate Impact

Could someone please review Vic's roles in the Naruto video games? From Naruto Ultimate Impact, I see that from Tobi that Tobi's real name is Obito Uchiha, and he calls himself Madara Uchiha, and that there's a byline on that wiki article saying Mignogna voices young Obito. So in the game itself, which distinct characters appear and which incarnation does he voice?

• Tobi
• Obito Uchiha
• Obito Uchiha (young)
• Madara Uchiha

If you have a source link to provide, that would be great. Thanks. AngusWOOF (talk) 03:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Vic's singles

Have any of Vic's non-anime singles besides "The First Noel" been officially released individually as such? -AngusWOOF (talk) 21:16, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Article Cleanup

this article is baffling to read and just a wall of references, when reliable sources are being ignored. At this point, the age thing doesn't matter. In the coming days, I will be going through the article to make it read like an actual article and cut down on the unessary references and clean up the character section. All of Victors roles are noted on his page from behind the Voice Actors ( http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Vic-Mignogna/) Angus, I would appreciate your assistance in this. Thank you ~Squally — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fireicefalcon (talk • contribs) 06:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

You can simplify the references to those on BTVA, but ONLY on the check marked roles as those have been confirmed by their screenshots of credits. Do not delete the references to the cite episodes and cite video games if BTVA does not have the check mark.-AngusWOOF (talk) 06:54, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

If you want to trim down the filmography to his most notable roles, ones where he has a major character or a starring role, that's fine. But don't assume reliable sources are being ignored. A lot of filmographies are requiring entries to be sourced going forward. -AngusWOOF (talk) 07:03, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

missing credit?

I am almost certain he had a voice in the dlc for borderlands 2 in the tourge dlc he was a quest giver or something, can anyone confirm or deny?

I am not a wikipedia expert or anything but I did skim the guidlines and if I out of order in some way I am sorry.

Unfortunately I don't see any additional voice actors credited for the DLC so this would be difficult to verify. Do you have a tweet or similar announcement about his role in the game? -AngusWOOF (talk) 18:00, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Birthday

Why is it not listed? It's confirmed on his IMDB and his Youtube channel. Sure, he has expressed interest in it not being public, but we're an encyclopedia; if we left it just because he didn't want it shown, we'd have to remove every fact that offends other people on the wiki. Brerose| Talk  01:42, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

IMDb is not a reliable source per WP:RS/IMDB. And per the previous thread, he does not have it on his YouTube channel. Has he changed his mind and made it public? Please see WP:BLPPRIVACY which says the person should not object. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:02, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
