Matthew Ian Senreich (born June 17, 1974, in Long Island, New York) is the co-creator, director, producer and writer of the TV series Robot Chicken.
Matt began his entertainment career in 1991 at the early age of 16, when he worked as a summer intern for Marvel Comics. It was here that he honed his writing skills and learned from the rising stars of the comic book industry.
Throughout his attendance at
Wesleyan University in
Middletown, Connecticut (1992–1996), Matt arranged other internships within the comic book community, targeting smaller companies like
Defiant Comics,
Broadway Comics and the
Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, where he gained more personal hands-on experience. Finalizing his string of internships, Matt returned to Marvel Comics in December 1995.
Upon graduating college in 1996, Matt secured a job as an editorial assistant at the New York-based Wizard Entertainment, a publication house that produces multiple magazines that are the leading source of information about the comic book, action figure, anime and collectible card gaming communities.
After two years with Wizard Entertainment, Matt rose through the ranks and became editor of ToyFare. One year later, he was promoted to editorial director of all Wizard Entertainment publications.
Matt soon met up with actor
Seth Green, who was a fan of Wizard's magazines. This newfound partnership between Matt and Seth spawned the creation of a series of
stop motion animated shorts entitled
Sweet J Presents for
Sony's Screenblast.com in 2000 and 2001. Based upon these "webisodes,"
Cartoon Network's
Adult Swim committed to 20 episodes of
Robot Chicken.
