This success established him as a prominent figure in the industry.

Following his move to Los Angeles, Willingham secured a wide array of roles in numerous other English anime adaptations. He voiced the character Neeba in both The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk and The Tower of Druaga: The Sword of Uruk.
