He is best known as Chef Victor from Disney’s ‘That’s So Raven’, and has many other TV shows under his belt. Rondell has also had appearances on the Late Late Late Show w/ Craig Ferguson, the Tonight Show with both Johnny and Jay, Conan and several Comedy Central Specials.

Rarely does a comedian come along that has the verbal agility to spin rapid fire wit and comebacks so smoothly.
