Jeff Wolverton grew up in Columbus, Ohio, getting expelled from such
prestigious high schools as Upper Arlington. He then obtained various
degrees at The Ohio State University where he also created animations
for stadium scoreboards across the country during a desperate and vain
attempt to stay in college until the end of time. Once the beer ran out
Jeff moved to Los Angeles to work at Walt Disney Feature Animation,
where he was a digital artist on "Hercules", "Tarzan", and, oddly, a
scratch voice actor for Disney's "Dinosaur". After accidentally driving
to the wrong studio Jeff started work at Sony Pictures Imageworks,
where he served as a lighting artist on "Stuart Little" and an effects
animator on "Hollow Man" Jeff then randomly drove to various studios,
working on "Fantastic Four", "Daredevil", "X-Men 2", "Ghost Rider",
"Spider-Man"'s 1 & 3, "Hancock", "Green Lantern" and apparently any
movie based on a superhero. Suddenly and inexplicably deciding he could
write movies, Jeff once wrote the screenplay for the animated feature
"Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists", an animated film with voices by
Brendan Fraser, Leonard Nimoy and Mark Hamill, that is still today
widely regarded as the best film ever written starring those three
particular actors in an animated movie beginning with the letter 'S'.
Now known as a screenwriter with the uncanny talent of knowing not only
where, but when, to capitalize words, Jeff quickly sold another
as-yet-unproduced-and-probably-never-will-be screenplay. Jeff has also
pitched feature ideas to Disney, Sony, Fox, and several smaller
studios. Jeff pitched, wrote and rewrote (and BAFTA Nominated) short
film "The ChubbChubbs!", where he was also allowed to be the voice of
the titular (it's a real word, look it up) characters, a role he later
reprised for the sequel "The ChubbChubbs Save Xmas". He then
inexplicably decided he could perform stand-up comedy and improv stage
comedy and and began performing at comedy clubs around Los Angeles with
the improv troupe "Team X". Jeff continues to create visual effects,
write screenplays, tell jokes and truly loves referring to himself in
the third person. He lives in Los Angeles with his cats Harvey and Ash
(platonically.)
