Justin Roiland (born February 21, 1980)[1] is an American actor, animator, writer, producer, and director. He is best known as the co-creator and executive producer of the Adult Swim animated series Rick and Morty, in which he voices both of the show's eponymous characters, the voice of Oscar on the Disney Channel's animated television show Fish Hooks, as well as the Earl of Lemongrab on Cartoon Network's Adventure Time, and several characters (most notably Blendin Blandin) on Gravity Falls.

Early life

Roiland grew up on an almond orchard in Manteca, California.[2] His sister is Amy Roiland (born 1984), she is the CEO/Founder of Fashion/Social Networking.[3] He was born with dyslexia.[4] He attended Sierra High School for all of his time in high school up to the first quarter in his senior and then transferred to Manteca High School for the rest of his senior year, graduating in 1998.[3] After high school he attended Modesto Junior College.[5]

Career

He eventually moved to Los Angeles, and in early 2004, got involved with Channel101, an L.A. media collective started by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, where he made and acted in numerous movie shorts (such as 2 Girls One Cup: The Show and House of Cosbys) and in the VH1 television show Acceptable TV.[6][7] He appeared regularly on The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central as "Blonde Craig".[8][9]

He now works as a voice actor, most notably as the title characters of Rick & Morty, for which he is also co-creator, co-writer and executive producer with Dan Harmon. Since 2010, he has co-hosted The Grandma's Virginity Podcast with Rick and Morty writer, Ryan Ridley, and Steven Universe producer, Jackie Buscarino.[10] He stated at the Rick and Morty panel at San Diego Comic-Con International 2014 that one of his main influences was Pendleton Ward and that he enjoyed watching The Ren & Stimpy Show as a child.
