Sam Riegel

Samuel Brent Oscar Riegel (born October 9, 1976 in Washington, D.C.) is an American voice actor, director, and writer based in Los Angeles. Sometimes credited under the aliases Jack Lingo and Sam Regal, he has been active in the voice acting industry since 1997. His younger sister Eden Riegel works in the same field as him.

Raised in a Jewish-American household, Riegel attended the University of Virginia and married cinematographer Quyen Tran. The two of them lived in New York for a time, but ended up leaving after they witnessed the 9/11 attacks firsthand. They now reside in Los Angeles with their daughter and son.

Riegel had been acting his whole life since childhood with his first role being an Oompa Loompa in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He found himself drawn to voice acting because he believed that people would judge him for his acting skills more than his appearance. Eventually, he also went into voice directing after accumulating enough experience within the dubbing industry. His efforts earned him an Emmy Award in 2018 for directing Danger & Eggs. He is also a cast member of Matthew Mercer's show Critical Role.

Many of Riegel's roles are varied in terms of personality, though fans prefer his more comedic or exaggerated performances. He is credited for voicing Riven in the Nickelodeon dub of Winx Club, Jude Mathis in Tales of Xillia, and Arthur D. Lawrence in Rune Factory 4.
