ANDREW ABLESON, a U.S. T.V. regular, guest-starring in many shows such as “The Shield”, “Las Vegas”, “Will & Grace”, “Medical Investigation”, as well as a recurring character on “Joan of Arcadia”, began his career on the London stage in sell-out productions of The Ecstasy, Bent, and A Midsummer Nights' Dream, at the Globe Theatre, as well as starring in award -winning productions of musicals such as Sweet Charity and Godspell coming from the prestigious Edinburgh festival.

After two seasons on the UK sitcom "Second Thoughts", as well as numerous commercial appearances, Ableson, son of beloved British crooning legend Frankie Vaughan, re-located to the US in 1995, landing roles immediately in "Nash Bridges" and the feature film success Boyfriends (1996), ironically returning to the UK for his role as Owen, the film’s bad-boy. In 2000 The West coast premieres of Mark Ravenhills' Shopping & F***ing, both in Los Angeles and San Francisco, won Ableson many awards for his starring role as Mark, the needy, love-hungry heroin addict.

He further built on that reputation one year later, starring as acclaimed theatre critic Kenneth Tynan, in another multi-award-winning L.A. premiere, Austin Pendleton’s Pulitzer-nominated Orson’s Shadow. Torn, an acclaimed nightly-improvised play, was another West coast premiere, further proving his dramatic abilities amongst his peers. Amongst many other TV and film credits since, Ableson has been the voice of the evil Valmont in two seasons of "The Jackie Chan Adventures", as well as voicing Gnomeo, in Disney’s “Gnomeo & Juliet”.

He can also be seen in New Suit (2002), recently in theatres, as well as playing all the waiters in Robert Zemeckis’ The Polar Express with Tom Hanks. His commercial credits include an international campaign for Xelebri communcations, working with David Fincher, and National spots for Microsoft, and the currrently running Cingular Star Wars ad with his new best friend Chewbacca. He continues to live, work, and sing, whenever he is allowed, in Los Angeles, California.
