Vincent Tong is a voice actor in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and My Little Pony Equestria Girls. His most prominent role in the series is as Flash Sentry.
Tong initially became involved in the series through his prior work for DHX Media on Kid vs. Kat.[1] For his auditions for Prince Blueblood and Garble, Tong recorded mp3's and sent them to DHX over the internet instead of auditioning in person.[2] He has stated in an interview that being cast as Joe was a last-minute casting decision.[3]
During the recording process for My Little Pony Equestria Girls, Tong only recorded lines alongside Peter New, Lee Tockar, and Richard Ian Cox.[4] Tong made his singing debut in the pony franchise as a colt named Pop Fly on the album It's a Pony Kind of Christmas.

In 2018, he voiced the title character Aki Light/Mega Man in Mega Man: Fully Charged. From 2018 to 2021 he voiced various supporting characters in Corner Gas Animated. In 2022, he voiced several versions of Knuckles the Echidna and Dr. Eggman in Sonic Prime. In 2023, he voiced Steve Lombard in the DC animated series My Adventures with Superman.
