Michael Craig Judge (born October 17, 1962) is an American actor, animator, writer, producer, and director.[1][2] He is the creator of the animated television seriesBeavis and Butt-Head (1993–1997, 2011, 2022–present), and co-created the television seriesKing of the Hill (1997–2010, 2025–present),The Goode Family (2009),Silicon Valley (2014–2019), andMike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus (2017–2018). He wrote and directed the filmsBeavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996),Office Space (1999),Idiocracy (2006), andExtract (2009), and co-wrote the screenplay toBeavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022).
Judge was born inGuayaquil,Ecuador, and raised inAlbuquerque, New Mexico. He graduated from theUniversity of California, San Diego,[2] where he studied physics.[2] After losing interest in a career in science, Judge focused on animation and short films. His animated shortFrog Baseball was developed into the successfulMTV seriesBeavis and Butt-Head, and the spin-off seriesDaria (with which Judge had no involvement).
In 1995, Judge and formerSimpsons writerGreg Daniels developedKing of the Hill, which debuted onFox in 1997 and quickly became popular with both critics and audiences. Running for 13 seasons, it became one of thelongest-running American animated series. During the run of the show, Judge took time off to write and directOffice Space,Idiocracy andExtract. AsKing of the Hill was coming to an end, Judge created his third show,ABC'sThe Goode Family, which received mixed reviews and was canceled after 13 episodes. After a four-year hiatus, he created his fourth show, the live-actionSilicon Valley forHBO, which has received critical acclaim.[3] In 2017, Judge's fourth animated series, the music-themedTales from the Tour Bus, premiered onCinemax, to acclaim.
Judge has won aPrimetime Emmy Award and twoAnnie Awards forKing of the Hill and twoCritics' Choice Television Awards andSatellite Awards forSilicon Valley.
Michael Craig Judge[4] was born on October 17, 1962, inGuayaquil, Ecuador.[4][5] He is the middle of three children born to Margaret Yvonne (née Blue), a librarian, and William James Judge, an archaeologist. At the time of his birth, his father was working for a nonprofit organization in Guayaquil and other parts of Ecuador, promoting agricultural development. Judge was raised from age three inAlbuquerque, New Mexico, where he spent a small portion of his life working on a chicken farm. He attendedSt. Pius X High School[6] and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in physics from theUniversity of California, San Diego, (UCSD) in 1985.[7]
After graduating fromUCSD in 1985, he successfully held several brief jobs in physics and mechanical engineering, but found himself growing bored with science.[2] In 1987, he moved toSilicon Valley to joinParallax Graphics,[8] a startupvideo card company with about 40 employees based inSanta Clara, California. Disliking the company's culture and his colleagues, Judge quit after less than three months, describing it as, "The people I met were likeStepford Wives. They were true believers in something, and I don't know what it was". Shortly after quitting his job, he became abass player with a touringblues band.[9]He was a part ofAnson Funderburgh's band for two years, playing on their 1990Black Top Records releaseRack 'Em Up,[10] while taking graduate math classes at theUniversity of Texas at Dallas.[9] He was planning to earn a master's degree as "a back-up plan" to become a community college math teacher after relocating to the north Dallas area for his then-wife's new job.[11][12][13] In 1989, after seeing animation cels on display in a movie theater, Judge purchased aBolex16 mm film camera and began creating his own animated shorts in his home inRichardson, Texas. In 1991, his short filmOffice Space (also known as theMilton series of shorts) was acquired byComedy Central, following ananimation festival in Dallas. Shortly thereafter, he dropped out of school to focus on his career.[9] In the early 1990s, he was playing blues bass withDoyle Bramhall.[14]
In 1992, he developedFrog Baseball,[9] a short film featuring the charactersBeavis andButt-Head, which was to be featured onLiquid Television, a 1990s animation showcase that appeared onMTV. The short led to the creation of theBeavis and Butt-Head series on MTV, in which Judge voiced both title characters as well as the majority of supporting characters and wrote and directed the majority of the episodes. The show centers on two socially incompetent,heavy metal-loving teenage wannabe delinquents,Beavis andButt-Head, who live in the fictional town of Highland, Texas. The two have no adult supervision, are dim-witted, sex-obsessed, uneducated, barely literate, and lack any empathy or moral scruples, even regarding each other. Over its run,Beavis and Butt-Head drew a notable amount of both positive and negative reaction from the public with its combination of lewd humor and implied criticism of society.[15]
Judge himself is highly critical of the animation and quality of earlier episodes, in particular the first two –Blood Drive/Give Blood andDoor to Door – which he described as "awful, I don't know why anybody liked it ... I was burying my head in the sand."[16] The series spawned the musical single "I Got You Babe" (1993) (a humorous cover with participation byCher), the feature-length filmBeavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996) and the spin-off showDaria.[17][18]
After a hiatus of two decades, the series aired a new season on October 27, 2011.[19] The premiere episode was a ratings hit, with an audience of 3.3 million total viewers.[20] On January 10, 2014, Judge said that there is still a possibility thatBeavis and Butt-Head could be pitched to another network, adding that he wouldn't mind making more episodes.[21]
In early 1995, after the successful first run ofBeavis and Butt-Head, Judge decided to create another animated series,King of the Hill.[22][23] Judge conceived the idea for the show, designed the main characters, and wrote a pilot script.Fox was uncertain of the viability of Judge's concept for an animated comedy based in reality and set in the American South, so the network teamed him up withThe Simpsons writerGreg Daniels.[24][22] Judge was a former resident ofGarland, Texas, upon which the fictional community of Arlen was loosely based, but as Judge stated in a later interview, the show was based more specifically on the Dallas suburb ofRichardson.[22][25] Judge voiced charactersHank Hill andJeff Boomhauer. The show is about a middle-class Methodist family named the Hills living in a small town called Arlen, Texas. It attempts to retain a naturalistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life while dealing with issues comically. After its debut in 1997, the series became a large success for Fox and was named one of the best television series of the year by various publications, includingEntertainment Weekly,Time, andTV Guide.[26]
For the 1997–1998 season, the series became one of Fox's highest-rated programs and even briefly outperformedThe Simpsons in ratings.[27] Although ratings remained consistent throughout the 10th, 11th and 12th seasons and had begun to rise in the overallNielsen ratings (up to the 105th most watched series on television, from 118 in season 8), Fox abruptly announced in 2008 thatKing of the Hill had been canceled. The cancellation coincided with the announcement thatSeth MacFarlane, creator ofFamily Guy andAmerican Dad!, would be creating aFamily Guy spin-off calledThe Cleveland Show, which would take overKing of the Hill's time slot.[28] Hopes to keep the show afloat surfaced as sources indicated thatABC (which was already airing Judge's new animated comedy,The Goode Family) was interested in securing the rights to the show,[29] but in January 2009, ABC president Steve McPherson said he had "no plans to pick up the animated comedy."[30] On April 30, 2009, it was announced that Fox ordered at least two more episodes to give the show a proper finale.[31] The show's 14th season was supposed to air sometime in the2009–10 season,[32] but Fox later announced that it would not air the episodes, opting instead for syndication.[33] On August 10, 2009, however, Fox released a statement that the network would air a one-hourseries finale (which consisted of a regular 30-minute episode followed by a 30-minute finale) on September 13, 2009.[34] The four remaining episodes of the series aired in syndication the week of May 3, 2010, and again onAdult Swim during the week of May 17, 2010. During the panel discussion for the return ofBeavis and Butt-Head atSan Diego Comic-Con in 2011, Mike Judge said that no current plans exist to reviveKing of the Hill, although he would not rule out the possibility of it returning.[35]
Judge began to develop one of his four animated short films titledMilton, about an office drone named Milton that Judge created, which first aired onLiquid Television andNight After Night with Allan Havey and later aired onSaturday Night Live.[36] The inspiration came from a temp job he once had that involved alphabetizing purchase orders[37] and a job he had as an engineer for three months in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1980s, "just in the heart ofSilicon Valley and in the middle of that overachieveryuppie thing, it was just awful".[38] Judge sold the completed filmOffice Space to20th Century Fox based on his script and a cast that includedJennifer Aniston,Ron Livingston, andDavid Herman.[36] Originally, the studio wanted to make a film out of the Milton character but Judge was not interested, opting instead to make more of anensemble cast–based film.[38] The studio suggested that he should make a film likeCar Wash but "just set in an office".[38] Judge made the relatively painless transition from animation to live-action with the help of the film's director of photography who taught him about lenses and where to put the camera. Judge says, "I had a great crew, and it's good going into it not pretending you're an expert."[37] Studio executives were not happy with the footage Judge was getting. He remembers them telling him, "More energy! More energy! We gotta reshoot it! You're failing! You're failing!"[39] In addition, Fox did not like thegangsta rap music used in the film until a focus group approved of it. Judge hated the ending and felt that a complete rewrite of the third act was necessary.[39] In the film, he made acameo appearance as Stan (complete withhairpiece and fake mustache), the manager of Chotchkie's, a fictionalized parody ofchain restaurants likeChili's,Applebee's andTGI Friday's, and the boss ofJennifer Aniston's character, whom he continually undermines and interrogates over her lack of sufficient enthusiasm for the job and the insufficient quantity of "flair" (buttons, ribbons, etc.) she wears on her uniform. The film was released on February 19, 1999, and it was well received by critics. Although not particularly successful at the box office, it sold well onVHS and DVD, and it has come to be recognized as acult classic.[40]
Beginning in fall 2003, Judge and fellow animatorDon Hertzfeldt created an animation festival called "The Animation Show". "The Animation Show" toured the country annually for several years, screening animated shorts.[41] In 2005, Judge was presented with theAustin Film Festival's Outstanding Television Writer Award byJohnny Hardwick.[42]
Judge has made supporting and cameo appearances in numerous films. Judge had a voice cameo as Kenny inSouth Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999), the feature-length film adaptation of the popularComedy Central series; he voicedKenny McCormick when he was unhooded towards the end of the film. He later acted in the science-fiction family comedy franchiseSpy Kids, where he played Donnagon Giggles in the first three films. His next film appearance wasServing Sara (2002) where he played a motel manager. He later appeared in the comedyJackass Number Two (2006), in which he can be seen during the closing credits. An extended version of his sequence can be seen inJackass 2.5 (2007) which was adirect-to-video release. Judge also created a video clip of Beavis and Butt-Head ripping intoSteve-O for his videoPoke the Puss, where the two try imagining if they would like the video better if they were black. The clip aired as a part ofJackassworld.com: 24-Hour Takeover, a February 23, 2008, television special on MTV to coincide with the official launch of jackassworld.com. The characters appeared again in the third Jackass film, titledJackass 3D, at the beginning of the film, telling viewers to put on their 3D glasses for the film.[43]
Judge's third film,Idiocracy, adystopian comedy starringLuke Wilson andMaya Rudolph, was given alimited release theatrically by20th Century Fox in September 2006, two years after production. The film's original release date was intended to be on August 5, 2005, according to Mike Judge.[44] In April 2006, a release date was set for September 1, 2006. The film was released without atrailer or substantial marketing campaign.[45] The film was not screened for critics beforehand as is usually done.[46] Lack of concrete information from Fox led to speculation that the distributor may have actively attempted to keep the film from being seen by a large audience, while fulfilling a contractual obligation for theatrical release ahead of a DVD release, according to Ryan Pearson of theAP.[47] That speculation was followed by open criticism of the studio's lack of support fromAin't It Cool News,Time, andEsquire.[48][49][50]Time's Joel Stein wrote "the film's ads and trailers tested atrociously", but "still, abandoningIdiocracy seems particularly unjust, since Judge has made a lot of money for Fox."[49] Despite the film not being screened for critics, the film received positive reviews and was a minor box-office success.[51] In the U.S., the film was released to DVD in January 2007 and later aired onpremium-television,multiplex channelsCinemax in September 2007 andHBO in January 2008. Since then, it has gained acult following.[52]
Judge's fourth directorial effort was 2009'sExtract. Shortly after completingOffice Space, Judge was already about 40 pages into his follow-up script, set in the world of an extract factory, when he was convinced by his representative team that he needed to shelve that and concentrate on something more commercial. Over the next several years, he focused his energy on developingIdiocracy. But years later, by the time of the film's release, audiences had decided thatOffice Space had struck a chord, so they were ready to see Judge return to on-the-job humor, and thus theExtract script was given new life.[53]
Seeking to keepExtract below the radar of the studio system, Judge and his producers set up a production company, Ternion Productions, and arranged private financing while partnering with Miramax for domestic distribution of the film. Judge relied heavily on his own personal knowledge of the industrial world to bring the story to life. "I actually worked in a factory a little bit myself ... I hopefully write stuff that is recognizable as the archetypes of this world," Judge stated.[53]
Keeping true to this baseline of reality,Extract was shot in a working factory, in this case a water bottling plant south of Los Angeles, in the City ofCommerce.[53] He makes an uncredited appearance as Jim, a union organizer.[54] The film premiered on September 4, 2009, and received mixed to positive reviews from critics and was a minor commercial success.[55]
Judge's third television series,The Goode Family, debuted on ABC but was canceled after one season. Comedy Central first aired the series in reruns on January 4, 2010. However, the series was pulled off the schedule shortly thereafter. It was confirmed onThe Goode Family Facebook page that Comedy Central had picked up the reruns of the series,[56] which were to be evaluated for a chance of being renewed for a second season.[57] On August 8, 2009, however, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson stated that the show, along withSurviving Suburbia, had officially been canceled due to low ratings.[58]
In 2010, reruns ofThe Goode Family aired Monday nights at 10 pm onComedy Central, beginning January 4. It departed the network's primetime schedule after four weeks, returning occasionally in low-trafficked timeslots.[59]
In 2012, Judge directed the music video (animation byTitmouse) forcountry music groupZac Brown Band's "The Wind".[60] In 2013, Judge collaborated withSeth MacFarlane on a mashup episode ofFamily Guy, in which, complete with aHill-themed opening, Judge reprises his role as Hank Hill.[61] Earlier in 2010 and 2012, Judge played cameos as Hank on two episodes of MacFarlane'sThe Cleveland Show.[citation needed]
Judge created his fourth show,Silicon Valley, withKing of the Hill executive producersJohn Altschuler andDave Krinsky. The HBO comedy is asingle-camera live-action sitcom set in Northern California. One of its main themes is the idea that "the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success".[62] The first season ofSilicon Valley was 8 episodes long and received critical and public acclaim.Silicon Valley was renewed for a second season on April 21, 2014, and a third season on April 13, 2015.[63][64]Silicon Valley aired its fourth season, which premiered on April 23, 2017.[65] The series was renewed for a fifth season, which premiered on March 25, 2018, and a sixth season, which premiered on October 27, 2019, and served as its final season.[66][67]
On January 12, 2017,Deadline confirmed thatCinemax ordered 8 episodes of Judge's new animated series,Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus. The series premiered on September 22, 2017.[68] Judge wrote the story forAction Point, the film was released in 2018.[69] In 2018, he starred in the film,The Front Runner.[70] In 2019, Judge announced he had been developing two projects forHBO:QualityLand andA5, both of which were later scrapped by HBO in 2021.[71][72]
In June 2020,Comedy Central announced it had ordered a second revival ofBeavis and Butt-Head consisting of two new seasons along with spin-offs and specials. In the new series, Beavis and Butt-Head will enter a "whole newGen Z world" with meta-themes that are said to be relatable to both new fans, who may be unfamiliar with the original series, and old.[73][74]
In February 2022, it was announced that the revival would instead premiere onParamount+, following a secondBeavis and Butt-Head feature film entitledBeavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.[75] Originally, Paramount executives wanted a live-actionBeavis and Butt-Head movie. Judge held auditions overZoom for the project. He eventually talked the company into doing an animated movie instead to reestablish the characters first, with a future live-action movie still a possibility.[76] In June 2022, it was confirmed that new episodes would debut later that year, along with the full library of over 227 original episodes, newly remastered, with music videos intact.[77][78][79] One month later, it was announced that the revival would premiere on August 4, 2022.[80] Season 9 continues the concept of the Beavis and Butt-Head multiverse initially explored inBeavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. Teenage Beavis and Butt-Head, Old Beavis and Butt-Head, and Smart Beavis and Butt-Head all get their own dedicated episodes in the revival.[81]
In January 2022, it was announced that Judge and Daniels had formed an animation company calledBandera Entertainment, with a revival ofKing of the Hill being one of several series in development.[82][83] During a panel atSan Diego Comic-Con in 2022, Judge stated that the show "has a very good chance of coming back."[84] In September 2022, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn confirmed that the series would not air on Fox, with the reason being that Fox prefers to have full ownership of whatever new shows they air.[85][86] On January 31, 2023, a revival onHulu was officially confirmed to be ordered.[87]
Bandera's first produced series isAnna Drezen'sPraise Petey[88] starringAnnie Murphy,John Cho, andStephen Root among others. The series premiered on July 21, 2023, onFreeform andHulu, and has received mostly positive reviews,[89][90][91][92] withRotten Tomatoes ratings of 80% Fresh from critics, and 90% Fresh from audiences.[93] The series was canceled after one season.[94] In 2024, Judge, along withZach Woods and Brandon Gardner, co-created the seriesIn the Know.[95] The series premiered on January 25, 2024, onPeacock. His new show,Common Side Effects currently airs on Adult Swim and is streaming onMax.
Judge married Francesca Morocco in 1989; they divorced in 2009.[96][97][98] Together they have two daughters.[96][97][99] The family lives inAustin, Texas, andSanta Monica, California, having previously resided inMalibu.[100][101] Judge is a fan of theUltimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[102]
WhileKing of the Hill is often a satire of protagonistHank Hill, generally identifiable as holding socially and politicallyconservative views,[103] and hisThe Goode Family is essentially a satire centered on aliberal family, Judge avoids discussing his own political leanings.[103]
In reviewingIdiocracy,Salon stated, "Judge'sgimlet eye is so ruthless that at times his politics seem to border onSouth Park libertarianism".[104] A writer for thelibertarian magazineReason seems to agree, comparingKing of the Hill to the anti-authoritarian point of view ofSouth Park andThe Simpsons, though he calls the show morepopulist, noting the disdainKing of the Hill seems to have for bureaucrats, professionals, andbig-box chains.[105]
Still, Judge denies having political messages in his shows, saying in 2006 in anIGN interview aboutKing of the Hill:[103]
I try to not let the show get too political. To me, it's more social than political I guess you'd say, because that's funnier. I don't really like political reference humor that much. Although I liked the episode 'Hank's Bully' where Hank's talking to the mailman and he says, 'Why would anyone want to lick a stamp that hasBill Clinton on it?' To me that's just like more of a character thing about Hank than it is a political joke or anything. I don't want to do a bunch of stuff aboutthe war, particularly.
In June 2016, before thepresidential election in November,Etan Cohen toldBuzzFeed that he and Judge would produceIdiocracy-themedcampaign advertisements mockingDonald Trump's presidential campaign if given permission from20th Century Fox to do so.[106] It was later reported byBusiness Insider that they would not have been campaign ads, would have mocked all of the candidates, and would not go forward.[107]
