Biography

Wallace Wolodarsky, a talented American television writer and director, was born on February 15, 1963. During the initial four seasons of the iconic animated series The Simpsons, Wolodarsky collaborated with his former writing partner Jay Kogen to co-write numerous episodes.

Notably, after leaving The Simpsons, Wolodarsky transitioned to film direction, with Sorority Boys being one of his most notable projects. In the DVD commentary for the season 9 episode "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace", Wolodarsky shared a peculiar anecdote about a wiffle ball bat that bore the ominous message "I KEELL YOU!", which eerily mirrored the threats spray-painted on The Simpsons' car after the family was ostracized by the town for fabricating a story about a robber stealing their Christmas tree.

Wolodarsky's creative endeavors have also extended to the realm of cinema, with notable roles in Rushmore and The Darjeeling Limited. Furthermore, he has lent his voice to the animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox.

In a fascinating tribute, the character "Vladimir Wolodarsky" in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou was named after this accomplished writer and director, underscoring his lasting impact on the world of entertainment.
