In 1995, Judge and the former Simpsons writer Greg Daniels developed King of the Hill, which debuted on Fox in 1997 and quickly became popular with both critics and audiences. His animated short Frog Baseball was developed into the successful MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head, and the spin-off series Daria (with which Judge had no involvement). After losing interest in a career in science, Judge focused on animation and short films. He graduated from the University of California, San Diego, where he studied physics. Judge was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and raised in the U.S. He wrote and directed the films Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996), Office Space (1999), Idiocracy (2006), and Extract (2009), and co-wrote the screenplay to Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022). He is the creator of the animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head (1993–1997, 2011, 2022–present), and the co-creator of the television series King of the Hill (1997–2010, 2023–present), The Goode Family (2009), Silicon Valley (2014–2019), and Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus (2017–2018).

And by all means, they look enough alike that someone might suspect this person messing with a propane tank is Hank Hill, even though it isn’t. It’s basically the same, with his Hank performance obviously becoming more polished over time. Here’s what Judge said:Īt one time, I thought Hank Hill was Tom Anderson’s son.Īnyone who watched Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill during the ‘90s no doubt made the mental connection between the way Mike Judge voiced the teen’s neighbor Tom Anderson and the latter comedy’s lead Hank Hill. To the point where the two animated hits theoretically already have connective DNA, if one wants to go the legally non-binding head-canon route. Addressing the ever so harsh reality that Beavis and Butt-Head being an early MTV classic and King of the Hill being a 20th Century Fox series made it impossible for any legitimate crossovers to feasibly happen, Mike Judge did admit that was an idea that he’d considered in the past, via THR.
