Sam Riegel, occasionally known as Jack Lingo, is an American voice actor, director, and writer. He is a regular cast member of the web series Critical Role, in which he and other fellow voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons.

Career[]

Riegel is best known for voicing Donatello in the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series and Phoenix Wright in the Ace Attorney games. He is a cast member of the web series Critical Role, in which he and other voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons.[1][2][3] In 2018, he received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in an Animated Program for his work on Danger & Eggs.[4] He hosts the All Work No Play podcast with his Critical Role co-star and best friend Liam O'Brien.[5]

Personal life[]

His full name is Samuel Brent Oscar Riegel. Riegel is the brother of actress Eden Riegel and the half-brother of filmmaker Tatiana S. Riegel. His father, Kurt Riegel, is a radio astronomer, environmental executive, and sailor. His mother, Lenore, is married to author Jerome Charyn.[6]

Riegel lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Vietnamese-American cinematographer Quyen Tran.[7][8] They have a daughter and son together.[9]

On September 11, 2001, Riegel and Tran witnessed the 9/11 attacks.[10] They were caught in the dust cloud formed by the collapse of the South Tower, but eventually escaped to Battery Park, where they witnessed the collapse of the North Tower; Riegel captured video footage that has since been featured in several documentaries.[7]
