Pablo Ridson Francisco (born January 5,1974 in Tucson, Arizona) is a Chilean-American stand-up comedian now living in Redondo Beach, California. He started his career doing improv in Tempe, Arizona.

Career

In the 1990's, he began appearing on "MADtv" as a featured player. His stand-up act was finally introduced to America at large when he landed his own half-hour comedy special on "Comedy Central Presents" in 2000. In 2001 and 2002, Francisco toured as part of "The Three Amigos" with Carlos Mencia and Freddy Soto. Since then, he has performed on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", VH1's "ILL-ustrated", "Mind of Mencia" as "The Voiceover Dude" (same as "Movie Voiceover Guy"), and most recently, "Frank TV".

Francisco is widely recognized within the comedy business for his ability to do vocal impressions of famous people including Jackie Chan, Don LaFontaine, Aaron Neville, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Casey Kasem, Keanu Reeves, John Madden, Michael J. Fox, Jerry Springer, William Hung, Chris Rock, Danny Glover, and Gary Busey, as well as sound effects and character voices like Count Dracula (as a Spanish Radio DeeJay), Droopy Dog, Tony Montana, R2-D2, Kermit the Frog, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Mr. Magoo. He also has a talent for beatboxing.

Francisco tours frequently in Southern California. His personal favorite venue is The Improv at the Irvine Spectrum CenterFact|date=March 2007, which is where his 2004 DVD "Bits and Pieces" was filmed. On December 31, 2005, he hosted a special New Years Eve party at the Irvine Improv.
