Neil Crone

Neil Crone (born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 29 May 1960) is a Canadian actor, comedian, writer, and motivational speaker, who provided voices for characters in both Thomas and the Magic Railroad and Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go.

When auditioning for Thomas and the Magic Railroad, him and his improvisation partner Kevin Frank had originally auditioned to voice the Troublesome Trucks. Crone was given the role of Diesel 10 when Britt Allcroft and the producers heard him doing a Russian accent whilst fooling around during the recording of the trucks' lines. The Russian accent was eventually dropped after test audiences claimed that it would be offensive. While fooling around, Frank and Crone were asked to try out for some of the other characters.

Besides voicing many of the characters, Neil Crone and Kevin Frank were also asked to add more comedy to the script. It was Neil Crone's idea to name Diesel 10's claw "Pinchy". Both were "creative consultants" for the film.

Over twenty years after his voiceover work for Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Crone reprised his role as Gordon for Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go.

Other credits include, Ray on the Canadian sitcom "Really Me", Mr. Borba in "Good Witch", Fred Tupper in "Little Mosque on the Prarie", several characters in "Odd Squad", Agent Kringle in "Eloise at Christmastime" Several Mr. Men in the American dub of "Mr. Men and Little Miss" and Dwayne in "Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race".
