Different anon but works in the convention industry:

So Vic? Basically? Yea...he believes in his own hype BIG TIME and acts like a "rock star". His fangirls don't help either. He is one of the biggest pains in the ass as a guest to handle (heard straight from a co-staffer who had misfortune of handling him) but he's popular so in most cases he is...tolerated. Staff make effort to bend backwards to be polite to this guy even when he acts like an egotistical asshat.
As for him being polite at panels? Well...yea. He's a voice actor/actor. Of course he will be, he has an image to maintain so he's not going to ruin his precious rep with his army of fangirls so he puts on the smile and show.
Not just him, it's every voice actor. They are "on" when they do cons in front of fans. It's basic PR/image. Johnny Young Bosch, while not as bad, has been getting a little like this lately, Sean Schemmel when "off" is a mixed bag (I don't dislike him but he can come off fairly...fratboy offensive if you're a girl), going back a little in the way back con machine I remember when ADV guests (including Vic at the time) were all over and remembering that Lauren Goodnight chick (i think that's her name, she was pretty irrelevant, tbh and like didn't really do major voice acting but emceed for a while at different cons i guess to stay relevant) being super nice to people when "on" but in reality was a drama queen "offstage". Spike Spencer is...you know, I don't even know where to start with him, it's not favorable though like..at all.


Now some ARE, from my experience, actually really nice people for real. Tom Wayland, Greg Ayres, Chris Ayres, Lisa Ortiz, Monica Rial, Michael Sinterniklaas, Scott McNiel, Brian Drummond, Brad Swaile, Colleen Clinkbeard, Caitlin Glass to name a few are genuinely nice in a non-phony way.

I've seen it be a total mixed bag in terms of guests, but Vic sorta takes the cake for fuckwittery.

So OP, hate on peacefully, he is kind of a douche irl.
