Art cartoonist
Stephen McDannell Hillenburg was born on August 21, 1961 in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He is an American animator, cartoonist, writer, producer, voice actor, former marine biologist and director best known for creating the animated series “SpongeBob SquarePants”. He was also the voice of Potty the Parrot. Hillenburg also played the ukulele on some of the original music composed for the show, including "Best Day Ever”. Stephen Hillenburg had made several "horrible impersonations" before he finally conceived his character. He intended to create a series about an over-optimistic sponge that annoys other characters. Hillenburg compared the concept to Laurel and Hardy and Pee-wee Herman. As he drew the character, he decided that a "squeaky-clean square" (like a kitchen sponge) fits the concept.
