Writing
Since 2004, Farrow has worked closely with Drake & Josh creator Dan Schneider, and served as a writer for an episode of Drake & Josh. Prior to this, Farrow also wrote the story for an episode of the sitcom What I Like About You (which Schneider co-created with former Friends writer Wil Calhoun) entitled "The Party" from the show's first season.
After Drake & Josh, Farrow worked as a writer and producer on two other Nickelodeon series created by Schneider, iCarly,[2] and Victorious. On Victorious he also voiced the puppet character Rex Powers.[1] Farrow then worked as a writer and producer for the Nickelodeon series Henry Danger, where he has also appeared in three episodes as the voice of Invisible Brad. Farrow has produced and co-written several episodes of the Nickelodeon series Game Shakers. Farrow is also an executive producer and a writer on the Nickelodeon series Danger Force.
