Wallace Wingert is an American voice actor and former DJ. His roles include Almighty Tallest Red in Invader Zim, Renji Abarai in Bleach, Kotetsu T. Kaburagi / Wild Tiger in Tiger & Bunny, the Riddler in the Batman: Arkham series, Jon Arbuckle in The Garfield Show, and the mascot of H. H. Gregg.[1]

Early life

Wingert was born in Des Moines, Iowa[2] but soon moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.[2]

Career

He began his career in radio as a disc jockey in 1977, at the age of 16 years old.[2] He eventually moved to Los Angeles, California in 1987, continuing his radio career.[2]

In 1989, Wingert parodied the Escape Club song "Wild, Wild West" on the Dr. Demento radio show as "Adam West", in response to the casting of Michael Keaton as the titular character for Batman.[2] He continued to work with the radio business with Westwood One, but later left the station and would take a full-time position as an air personality with KTWV.[2] After five years, he eventually left the radio station and would pursue a career in acting and voice acting.[2] Following Kevin Conroy's passing in November 2022, Wingert posted a heartfelt story on how he cited his meeting with Conroy as a major influence on his career.[3]

Wingert was the announcer for The Jay Leno Show, replacing John Melendez; when NBC moved Leno back from primetime to late night, he remained as announcer for the second Leno iteration of The Tonight Show. He was also the voice of Jon Arbuckle from The Garfield Show. He is also known for his roles as Almighty Tallest Red from Invader Zim (opposite Kevin McDonald), Ant-Man / Giant-Man from The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Riddler from the Batman: Arkham series, Renji Abarai from Bleach and Kotetsu T. Kaburagi / Wild Tiger from Tiger & Bunny.

He narrated Impact: Stories of Survival on the Discovery Health Channel, How to Build Everything on the Science Channel, Amazing Medical Stories and That's Gotta Hurt on TLC, some episodes of E! True Hollywood Story on E! and Outdoor Outtakes on the Outdoor Life Network.

Personal life

Wingert currently resides in Palm Springs, California.[2] In his spare time, he enjoys collecting animation art, autographs, drawings, movie and television costumes, collectible toys and rock and roll merchandise.[2]

He is not related to fellow voice actor Mick Wingert.[4]
