Mike Pollock

Biography

Pollock began to provide voices for Pokémon during the fourth season. In Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, he gained his two most important roles in Pokémon, providing the voice of Raoul Contesta and the narrator, the latter of which he took over from Rodger Parsons. As with most other voice actors who worked with 4Kids Entertainment, he left after the eighth season, when Pokémon USA and TAJ Productions took over the dubbing and distribution of the series.

Pollock returned to the series under the pseudonym Herb Lawrence in Luxray Vision!. In Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!, he reprised the role of Raoul Contesta. Thus, he became the second voice actor to reprise a role of his that was previously done in the 4Kids dub, after Giovanni's voice actor Ted Lewis.
