Happy (Late) Birthday, Andrew Francis · 3:30pm May 28th
Yesterday was Andrew Francis' birthday. He is the talented man who voiced Shining Armor beginning in "A Canterlot Wedding", and was briefly the voice of Night Light for the character's first speaking appearance at the end of "The Crystalling". He also had a few small roles here and there throughout G4.
Andrew actually began voice acting as a child, or at least a teenager. And he's remained a relatively active voice actor since at least the early 2000's. Interestingly, last year it was announced that he would be taking over the role of Cole in the Ninjago series following the unexpected death of Cole's VA, Kirby Morrow. I haven't heard Andrew there, so I don't know how good he's done at emulating Kirby, but I know he had some big shoes to fill.
Happy belated birthday, Andrew. I hope you continue to be blessed with many great voice acting roles well into the future.
Ooh, he shares my birthday!
He also voiced Ty Rux from the Dinotrux show. Man, that was an awesome cartoon. Would’ve been cooler if more voices from Friendship is Magic and Ninjago were added, along with more species of DinoTrux.
