He's probably best known as the voice actor for both Cap'n Turbot and Mayor Humdinger on PAW Patrol (both roles that he reprised in the show's 2021 film adaptation), but some viewers might also remember him for appearing in major roles on other Canadian cartoons like Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse, World of Quest, and Sidekick, as well as the English dub of Bakugan. Incidentally, like in PAW Patrol, Pardo 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 Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of Digit on Cyberchase.
Interesting fact: Pardoville, Ontario, the hometown he grew up in, was named after his ancestors.
Not to be confused with the late Don Pardo, the longtime announcer of Saturday Night Live.

Ron Pardo provides examples of:
- Acting for Two: He voices main characters who interact with each other on a number of occasions in PAW Patrol, Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse and World of Quest.
- Man of a Thousand Voices: Ron's unique vocal range could give American counterparts such as Billy West and Tom Kenny a run for their money.
