Trivia: Actor, singer, and voice actor Keith David has spent much of his career on the stage, but also frequently works in feature films and on television. A native of New York City, David first performed as a child, singing in the All Borough Chorus and later attended the prestigious High School of Performing Arts. Shortly after graduating from Juilliard, where he studied voice and theater, David landed a role in a production of Coriolanus at Joseph Papp's Public Theater. He starred opposite Christopher Walken. David made his Broadway debut in Albee's The Lady From Dubuque (1980) and, two years later, had his first film role in John Carpenter's The Thing. He would not appear in another feature film until he played King in Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986). In between, David alternated between stage and television work. He appeared in five films in 1988, including Clint Eastwood's Bird, where he gave a memorable performance as jazz sax player Buster Franklin. In 1992, David showed his considerable skill as a singer and dancer and won a Tony nomination for starring in the musical Jelly's Last Jam, opposite Gregory Hines. David's film career really picked up in the mid-'90s, with roles ranging from a gunslinger in Sam Raimi's The Quick and the Dead to a New York cop in Spike Lee's Clockers to an amputee who owns a pool parlor in Dead Presidents (all 1995). In 1998, David had a brief but memorable role as Cameron Diaz's boisterous stepfather in the Farrelly brother's zany Something About Mary. In one of the film's funniest scenes, David tries to help Diaz's prom date, Ben Stiller, extricate himself from an embarrassingly sticky situation. He is also well known to animation fans for his voice work in, among other projects, Disney's Gargoyles, HBO's Spawn, and the English-dubbed version of the Japanese-animated film Princess Mononoke. In 2000 he appeared in Requiem for a Dream, Pitch Black, and Where the Heart Is, as well as providing the narration of Ken Burns documentary on the history of jazz. He continued to work steadily in a variety of projects including Barbershop, 29 Palms, Agent Cody Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the 2005 Oscar winner for Best Picture, Crash. He also found work in Transporter 2, The Oh in Ohio, Meet Monica Velour, Lottery Ticket, and the 2010 remake of Death at a Funeral.

Trivia: Voice actor Tom Kenny was born in New York and worked as a standup comedian. After brief roles in the comedy features How I Got Into College and Shakes the Clown, he started doing sketch comedy on the FOX series The Edge. One of his first voice acting gigs was the cow on Rocko's Modern Life. In 1995, he starting writing and acting on the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. It was there that he met his future wife, fellow cast member Jill Talley. After Mr. Show ended, Kenny turned to voice acting full-time with popular Cartoon Network series like Dexter's Laboratory. On The Powerpuff Girls, he provided colorful narration as well as several character voices. Grown-up audiences heard him on Dilbert, Futurama, The Animatrix, or Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights. Though he has dozens of credits to his name, Kenny is probably most well known as the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants. First aired in 1999 on Nickelodeon, SpongeBob SquarePants is an animated series about a fry cook who lives at the bottom of the sea. Popular with both young and old audiences, the show became one of the most highly-rated cartoons on TV. Kenny was also the narrator and various other characters on the show, and reprised his role for The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie in 2004. The always-in-demand vocal talent performed multiple roles in The Ant Bully, took over the duty of voicing Rabbit in 2011's Winnie the Pooh, and gave Wheelie a voice in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. In 2012 he could be heard in Tim Burton feature length adaptation of his short film Frankenweenie.

Trivia: The co-mastermind (along with partner in crime Dan Harmon) behind one of the most beloved failed television pilots never to make it to the small screen, admitted nerd and independent filmmaker Rob Schrab has a dream, to have the creative control over his projects that will allow him to buck the system and create the products that he himself would like to see. Whether producing a film, television show, or comic book, Schrab's desire to entertain in a variety of media is as genuine as it is inspiring. A longtime fan of comics who eventually decided to try his own hand at the popular art form, Schrab created Scud the Disposable Assassin before making the move to Los Angeles and joining forces with Harmon to create the outlandish television pilot Heat Vision and Jack for FOX. Though the half-hour episode, featuring Jack Black as a former astronaut whose brain swells with the rising sun and who fights crime alongside his former roommate-turned-motorcycle (voiced by Owen Wilson), ultimately failed to make the airwaves, underground copies began circulating heavily, making Heat Vision and Jack something of a cult hit among the cinema bizarre set. A second crack at filmmaking resulted in the equally bizarre Robot Bastard!, and, seeing the potential in their strange creations, Schrab and Harmon soon began expanding their filmmaking experiments to include submissions from outsiders as part of the so-called "Super Midnight Movie Show." The increasingly popular monthly film festival soon receiving more submissions than the overwhelmed pair were able to keep up with, it was next time to expand their creation to the Internet in the form of Channel 101 -- a web-based entertainment channel that allowed independent filmmakers to cut loose with their creativity in whatever manner they saw fit. In addition to appearing onscreen in such comedy shorts as Soul Mates and LaserFart, Shrab also turned in a memorable cameo in the indie flick spoof My Big Fat Independent Movie. In early 2006 Schrab would once again re-team with Harmon to write and direct a pilot for Comedy Central starring irreverent comedienne Sarah Silverman.
