Ableson, son of legendary crooner Frankie Vaughan, began his career on the London stage in sell-out productions of "The Ecstasy", "Bent", and "A Midsummer Nights' Dream", at the Globe Theatre, as well as starring in award-winning productions of musicals such as "Sweet Charity" and "Godspell" coming from the prestigious Edinburgh festival.After two seasons on the UK sitcom "Second Thoughts" as well as numerous commercial appearances, Ableson re-located to the US, landing roles immediately in "Nash Bridges" and the feature film success, Boyfriends (1996), ironically returning to the UK for his role as Owen, the films' bad-boy.The west coast premieres of Mark Ravenhills' "Shopping & F***ing", both in Los Angeles and San Francisco, won Ableson many awards for his starring role as Mark, the needy, love-hungry heroin addict. He built on that reputation further, starring as acclaimed theatre critic Kenneth Tynan, in another LA premiere, Austin Pendleton's' Pulitzer-nominated "Orsons' Shadow". Amongst many other TV and film credits since then, Ableson has been the voice of the evil "Valmont" in two seasons of "The Jackie Chan Adventures" and has just finished shooting a role in "Polar Express" with Tom Hanks and Robert Zemekis. He can also be seen in New Suit (2002), recently in theatres. He continues to live and work in Los Angeles, California.
