Information about Eric Fogel

Eric Fogel (born 1969) is an American director, writer, producer and voice actor who is best known as the creator of the tv series Celebrity Deathmatch. He also created the cult series The Head and directed several episodes of Daria. He is currently working in his new animated show Starveillance.

Early life

Eric graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 1991 with a BFA in Film/TV. During his time there he created his first animated film, titled Mutilator: Hero Of the Wasteland, a film which one professor cited as being "inappropriate due to its violent content." Mutilator would go on to win NYU's Award of Excellence in Animation and become a cult favorite of Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. Eric continued to produce animated shorts and soon his reel came across the desk of an executive at MTV Animation.

The Head

Main article The Head

In 1994, at age of twenty-four, Eric created his first animated series for MTV. The Head was a bizarre show about a high-spirited alien named Roy, who survived on Earth by living inside the head of an everyman named Jim. The show, which blended sci-fi action and comedy, ran for two seasons and spawned a graphic novel for Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster.

Celebrity Deathmatch

Main article Celebrity Deathmatch

For his next series, Eric was determined to revive the seemingly lost art of stop-motion animation. The pitch was simple: Celebrities square off in a ring and proceed to beat the pulp out of one another…in clay. Celebrity Deathmatch premiered in 1998 during the Super Bowl Halftime and turned out to be the highest rated special in the history of MTV. The show was popular enough for Eric to be named one of the most creative people in the TV industry by Entertainment Weekly. Four seasons and nearly a hundred episodes later, Deathmatch was known over the world and remained as one of MTV's highest rated shows.

In 2006 Deathmatch was revived by MTV2 but Eric decided not to get involved with the show so he could work in his new show Starveillance.Despite this Eric is still credited as the creator and co-executive producer of the show.

Starveillance
