Dane Boedigheimer (born September 28, 1979), better known by his online pseudonym Dane Boe, is an American actor, voice actor, director, writer, producer, singer, title card designer, animator, editor, cinematographer, effect specialist and sound artist. He is known for his web series The Annoying Orange and the TV series The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange, in which he also provides the voice of the title character.
Boedigheimer began making videos with his 8mm camcorder as a teenager. Boedigheimer is a speech communications major at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and became a production assistant for MTV's Pimp My Ride three years after earning his degree. He later founded the company Gagfilms in 2005.
The talking food videos Boedigheimer had previously done for JibJab inspired and prepared him to create the first original Annoying Orange video. Due to the success of the video, he later became an online YouTube franchise. The success of the Annoying Orange series is also the subject of a TV series, a video game, a range of toys, a t-shirt line, and costumes.
Boedigheimer, the son of a roofer, was raised in Harwood, North Dakota, where he frequently made home videos as a teen, since he began using his parents' 8mm video camera that he got for Christmas at the age of 12; "I was spending entire days making short videos with my younger brother. It all just blossomed from there. I remember sitting in my room for hours editing my videos with two VCRs. It was painstaking, but I loved it. There was something magical about making stories come to life right in front of my eyes, no matter how crappy those stories were!" This would later inspire him to work as a camera operator for local TV stations.
