Originally voiced by Roscoe Lee Brown is a sophisticated yet easily irritated British Bulldog who lives in Manhattan. He is a proud devotee to the works of Shakespeare and often communicates in alliterations. There are an estimated 20 lines for this role plus sound effects where the script calls for them. Francis is also involved in two of the movie's musical numbers (but doesn't have a huge part in either) so you must be comfortable singing in the performance.
