Casey Mongillo

Casey Kenny Mongillo is an American voice actor, who has played roles in animation and video games. They are best known for portraying lead character Shinji Ikari in the Netflix English dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion in 2019.

Career In 2019, Mongillo voiced the main character Shinji Ikari in the Netflix dubbing of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, replacing Spike Spencer, who played the part in the original ADV Films dub. Aja Romano of Vox wrote that it was laudable that Netflix cast a non-binary actor to play Shinji. Carol Grant, in an opinion piece for Vice, wrote that Shinji being played by a trans actor made the series feel more queer, saying that "Mongillo's delivery captures the delicate interplay between the masculine and feminine aspects of Shinji's voice and personality, bringing his bodily and gendered anxieties to life".

Mongillo was nominated for Best Performance by a Voice Actor (English) in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards for their performance as Shinji.
