Biography

Paul Kevin Rugg is an American screenwriter, producer, voice actor, and puppeteer. He is best known for his starring roles in shows like Freakazoid!, Pig Goat Banana Cricket, and Earth to Ned. Rugg has worked extensively in the field of animation. His list of credits include writing for, producing, and voice acting in several cartoons, first as the Jerry Lewis-esque Mr. Director in Animaniacs. Afterwards, he voiced the title character in Freakazoid! and Nostradamus in Histeria!, as well as the main recurring villain, Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy in the Disney series Dave the Barbarian. He also voiced Gweelok for Cartoon Network's Secret Mountain Fort Awesome.

Rugg also appeared live as the eccentric character "Manny" in the Manny the Uncanny short segments as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning for ABC.

Rugg created and directed The Sam Plenty Cavalcade of Action Show Plus Singing with Mitch Schauer, on behalf of The Jim Henson Company. He also played the voice of Principal Rotwood in the Disney Channel Original series American Dragon Jake Long.

Rugg was once—along with Adam Carolla and John P. McCann (his co-producer on Freakazoid!)—an improvisational actor at the Acme Comedy Theatre in Los Angeles, where he created the character Manny the Uncanny.

Rugg was recruited to the Warner Bros. Animation team headed up by Jean MacCurdy and Tom Ruegger, and was a key contributor to their various series in the 1990s. Rugg later moderated a panel about some of the classic series produced during this time at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2008. (Participants included Paul Dini, Jean MacCurdy, John P. McCann, and Andrea Romano).

Rugg later worked with Brian Henson when he took up puppeteer work for Puppet Up and other projects of The Jim Henson Company under its "Henson Alternative" banner. He reunited with Brian Henson as puppet talk show host Ned on the Disney+ talk show Earth to Ned.

Rugg has been nominated for several Emmys, and has received three. He lives up the coast from Los Angeles with his wife Maria and daughter.
