Needleman and Smitty -- Daniel Gerson

DAN GERSON (Screenwriter/Voice of the "Geeks") lends his humor and writing skills to Pixar's latest feature film effort. A native New Yorker, Gerson moved to Los Angeles in the mid-nineties, after completing the graduate program at New York University's prestigious Film School. He worked as a writer in the television industry, on such shows as "Duckman," "Something So Right," and several Canadian sitcoms, until a spec script he had written came to Disney's attention. A trip to Pixar came next, and soon Gerson found himself moving to Northern California, where he would spend the next year and a half working on the "Monsters, Inc." script. In addition, his scratch track recordings for Needleman and Smitty, the two geeky MI employees who are Sulley's biggest fans, led to him being cast in those roles.
