Andrew Francis

“

Today has been a day filled with mixed emotions. This morning, it was formally announced that I will be stepping in as the voice of the beloved character Cole, in the incredible show that you and I have both grown to love, Ninjago. After a decade of such an amazing show, and more importantly, after a decade of brilliant performances by the incredibly talented, incredibly humble, incredibly generous and incredibly caring human being named Kirby Morrow - a torch has now been passed. One that will be held high and held proud, in honor of his beautiful soul, and as he would undoubtably would have wanted it.
