Mike Judge
Biography
Mike Judge is an American animator, writer, director and actor who began with homemade short films before his Frog Baseball short grew into MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head, in which he voiced the two leads and handled most episodes. He wrote and directed Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996), Office Space, Idiocracy and Extract, and co-wrote Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022). With Greg Daniels he developed King of the Hill, a Fox cartoon that ran 13 seasons and lasted longer than most American animated shows. He also created the HBO comedy Silicon Valley, which drew critical acclaim, and Tales from the Tour Bus. His screen roles include a voice part in South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut (1999) and Donnagon Giggles in the first three Spy Kids movies. For King of the Hill he won a Primetime Emmy and two Annie Awards, and for Silicon Valley two Critics' Choice Television Awards plus Satellite Awards.
