[edit] Fanbase

Vic Mignogna is a celebrity among fans of English anime dubs; his roles as characters such as Dark Mousy, Gawl, Edward Elric, and the evil Broly from the 3 Dragon Ball Z movies, along with his crazy interaction with his fans, have generated a large fanbase. He is a guest at many anime conventions across the United States and Canada. He also tried out for the role of Fay D. Flourite on Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and originally lost the role to Chris Patton, until Patton terminated his contract with FUNimation he was then given the role after Patton left.

He now has an official fanclub, Risembool Rangers (named after Edward Elric's hometown in Fullmetal Alchemist), with members in almost every state and across the world, including fellow voice actors Caitlin Glass and Scott McNeil.^[4] Vic's appreciation for his fans led to the creation of the short film Fullmetal Fantasy.

There is also a friendly rivalry between the Rangers and Travis Willingham's fan club, the Miniskirt Army. When both actors are at a convention together, there is usally a game of dodgeball between the two fan clubs.

Vic Mignogna is also a huge fan of the Star Wars and Star Trek series. He hosts his own fan site.

He has stated in several interviews that he is also a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist, and that voicing the part of Edward Elric was probably the most memorable role in his voice acting career. These statements were made at Fullmetal Alchemist panels at anime conventions.

Most recently, Vic has teamed with Steven Blum in making audio clips titled "Real Fans of Genius," which parodies Budweiser's Real Men of Genius radio commercials. These anime-themed clips talk about various stereotypical fans of the anime world, the first two which describe "Mr. Anime Cosplayer Guy" and "Ms. Yaoi Obsessed Fangirl." The third describes "Mrs. Bewildered Con Mother." A fourth one was recently made about "Mr. Cheapo Hallway Sleeper Guy".
