WILL SHEPARD is an overly tall director and comedy writer, who was saved from a debtors' prison for intransigent giants in Lowell, Massachusetts by his good friend Robin Reed. Since then, his credits have included working for The Onion, "Saturday Night Live", Yahoo!, and the animated series "Home Movies", (Adult Swim), "O'Grady High", (TeenNick), and "WordGirl" (PBS).  He splits his time between hitting his head on low-hanging doorways in New York, helping friends get things off of high shelves in Los Angeles, and directing commercials for clients like Pilsbury and Pepsi when he's not shoveling snow off of his roof in the comedy capital of the world, St. Paul, Minnesota.  Will is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he won awards for screenwriting and directing short films, but had his head cropped out of several class photos. Seriously, have you ever tried to have a conversation with him? It hurts your neck! Will won a 2008 daytime Emmy award for writing in animation, and his height has been described by "Variety" as "egregious, to the pointof showy".
