Dane Willard Boedigheimer (born September 28, 1978),[1][2] better known by their pseudonym Dane Boe, is an American internet personality, voice actor, writer, animator, and musician. They are known for creating the web series Annoying Orange and the spin-off television series The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange; Boedigheimer provides the voice of the title character in both productions.
Boedigheimer began making videos with their 8mm camcorder as a teenager. Boedigheimer was a speech communications major at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and became a production assistant for MTV's Pimp My Ride three years after earning their degree. They later founded the company Gagfilms in 2005.
The talking food videos Boedigheimer had previously done for JibJab inspired and prepared them to create the first original Annoying Orange video. Due to the success of the video, they began creating more, and ultimately became an online YouTube franchise. The success of the Annoying Orange series has been parlayed into a spin-off television series, a video game, a range of toys, a clothing line, and costumes.
