Biography

Franklin is the show's lead character and the main protagonist. He's also a big brother (a desire he had expressed multiple times in the past). He takes good care of his pet goldfish, Goldie, and also has a stuffed dog named Sam who, despite growing older, he still hangs onto and communicates with. Franklin enjoys baseball, swimming and hockey. Bear is his best friend. He is capable of fully removing his shell as apparently all turtles in the show are; his shell is a combination of clothing and backpack. He most often wears a hat and also wears a small red scarf around his neck. Noah Reid provided the voice of Franklin for the first five seasons of the television program. In the sixth season and the television movie, Back to School with Franklin, Cole Caplan (who also voiced Olie Polie, and previously had a small role as the one-shot guest voice of Squirrel) voiced him. Cameron Ansell (who also voiced Arthur Read) replaced Caplan as the voice in the U.S.-language version of the Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure film. Graeme Jokic is the character's regular voice in the spin-off Franklin and Friends. He is 6 years old, and later turns 7 in Franklin's Birthday.
