Vincent Tong

Vincent Tong works out of Vancouver, which is the practical explanation for a credit list this long. The city animates a large share of North American children's television, and Tong has been in its booths since the late 2000s, starting with Toro in Sushi Pack, Henry in Kid vs. Kat and Gene Khan in Iron Man: Armored Adventures.

The signature role is Kai in Ninjago, which he has held from the 2011 pilot film through Masters of Spinjitzu, the Day of the Departed special and on into LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising in 2023. More than a decade of one character is unusual in a business that recasts constantly. Alongside it sit Flash Sentry across four Equestria Girls features, Sandbar in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Jestro in LEGO Nexo Knights, Antaeus Nekton in The Deep and Eugene Wong in Dragons: The Nine Realms.

The craft the credit list actually documents is doubling. Sonic Prime lists him for four separate characters. Sausage Party lists three. The Equestria Girls films keep stacking a second and third voice next to Flash Sentry. A voice actor who can be cast four times inside one series is more useful than one who cannot, and that flexibility, rather than any single part, is the career. Recent work has widened a little: Steve Lombard in My Adventures with Superman, Skulli Flame-Boni in The Bad Guys: The Series, a run of LEGO shows. He also voiced Euden in the mobile game Dragalia Lost before the role passed to another actor, which is the one line here that sounds like the business talking rather than the work.
