Eric Fogel

With a BFA in Film/TV from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Eric has been directing animation for over 20 years. He created his first animated series at MTV, a quirky sci-fi comedy called "The Head." In just two years, it acquired a cult following and spawned a successful graphic novel.

For his follow up, Eric combined his love of stop-motion animation and celebrity bashing to create the hit series "Celebrity Deathmatch." The Deathmatch premiere was one of the highest rated specials in the history of MTV, ran for six seasons with over a hundred episodes and prompted Entertainment Weekly to name him as one of TV's most creative people.

After directing CG features for Mattel, Eric created and produced the faux-documentary series,"Starveillance," for E! He then partnered with Michael Eisner's Tornante Company to produce Nick at Night's first animated original, "Glenn Martin, DDS," starring Kevin Nealon and Catherine O'Harra. Glenn Martin was nominated for an Annie Award and brought home two Gemini Awards for Best Animated Series and Best Director.

In the years that followed, Eric continued working in CG animation at Nickelodeon, where he was senior director on "Wallykazam!" and Disney, where he directed and exec produced "The Descendents: Wicked World."

At Dreamworks, Eric served as executive producer and writer on the Emmy-nominated series "Archibald's Next big Thing." (Netflix/Peacock). Eric is Writing/Directing/Exec Producing a Megamind TV series/feature which will stream in early 2024 (Peacock).
