In comparison with Japanese voice actors, he falls in a range of "not that great" to "pretty okay" depending on the role. In comparison with a lot of American voice actors? He's one of the few that doesn't make me want to slam my head against a wall repeatedly.

Using the Edward Elric example, he doesn't show the childlike weaknesses that are a part of the character, but at the same time, he does handle the emotional dynamics of Ed's volatile nature (going from calm, rational discussion to screaming mania whenever anyone mentions his height) well, and he sounds natural and believable in the role.

Another possible exception like Kougaiji, albeit an obscure one, was his title role in Generator Gawl. A fairly Ed-like character (young, powerful, excitable, in situations that range from humor to pretty dark drama).

Basically, I don't think it's that hard to be considered a good American voice actor, because the bar is set SO LOW. Hopefully that will change as anime becomes more mainstream, but for the moment, Vic's one of the few I'll actually listen to.

It's still no excuse for his monumentally inappropriate behavior, though.
