Michael Daingerfield is a Canadian actor, acting coach and the founder of On The Mic Training, a voice acting school in Vancouver, British Columbia.

He is best known for his voice roles of Ace Ventura in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, playing Gordon Godfrey on the CW's superhero drama Smallville, and his English dub of the anime as Gintoki Sakata in Gintama.

Early life and education

[edit]

Daingerfield attended Murray State University in Kentucky on a tennis scholarship. He graduated with a degree in business and administration.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Michael Daingerfield's first voice acting job was playing Ace Ventura on the animated series of the same name. According to voice director Dan Hennessey, Daingerfield did a few of Jim Carrey's ADR lines in the second Ace Ventura film (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls), when Carrey was unavailable to do them himself.[3]

In 2006, Daingerfield wrote, produced and starred in "Daingerfield," a short feature loosely based on his life.[4]

In 2007, Daingerfield founded On the Mic Training, a Vancouver-based voice acting school where he and many other Vancouver voice actors train students in voice-over.[5]

In 2017, he was cast as lead character Gintoki Sakata in the Ocean dub of Gintama.

Personal life

[edit]

In 2007, Daingerfield ranked third in Canada for Men's Singles over 35 tennis.[6]
