2	Ron Pardo (born May 15, 1967) is a Canadian voice actor/comedian known largely for his vocal range; he has provided voice work for dozens of cartoons and anime. He has also done on-camera work, mainly on ''Series/HistoryBites'', where he was one of the main cast members.

4	He's probably best known as the voice actor for both Cap'n Turbot and Mayor Humdinger on ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' (both roles that he reprised in the show's [[WesternAnimation/PAWPatrolTheMovie 2021 film adaptation]]), but some viewers might also remember him for appearing in major roles on other Canadian cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/MarvinTheTapDancingHorse'', ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfQuest'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'', as well as the English dub of ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}''. Incidentally, like in ''PAW Patrol'', Pardo [[ActingForTwo voices two major characters]] in both ''Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse'' and ''World of Quest'', being the title character and Stripes the Tiger in the former and Quest and Graer in the latter. In 2023, he succeeded the late Creator/GilbertGottfried as the voice of Digit on ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}''.

6	Interesting fact: Pardoville, Ontario, the hometown he grew up in, was named after his ancestors.
