'''Matthew Richard Stone''' (born [[May 26]], [[1971]]) is an [[Emmy]]-winning [[United States|American]] [[animator]], [[film director]], [[screenwriter]], [[actor]] and [[voice actor]]. He is one of the co-creators along with [[Trey Parker]] of the hit animated television series ''[[South Park]]''. |
|||
== Pre-Fame == |
|||
Stone was born in [[Houston, Texas]], to Gerald Whitney Stone and Sheila Lois Belasco, a [[Secularism|secular]] [[Sephardic]] [[Jew]]. He was raised in the [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]] suburb of [[Littleton, Colorado|Littleton]], [[Colorado]], though contrary to popular belief, he did not attend [[Columbine High School]] but rather Heritage High School in Littleton, a cross-town rival of Columbine. He holds degrees in [[film]] and [[mathematics]] from the [[University of Colorado at Boulder]]. |
|||
In [[1997]], [[Comedy Central]] debuted ''South Park'', which he and his friend [[Trey Parker]] created. He was said to be the basis for the character of [[Kyle Broflovski]] on the show, which is now in its tenth season. |
|||
== ''Bowling For Columbine'' and Michael Moore feud == |
|||
In [[2002]], Stone was interviewed for the [[Michael Moore]] [[documentary film|documentary]] ''[[Bowling for Columbine]],'' where he mostly discusses his experiences growing up in Littleton, and the social alienation that might have driven situations such as the [[Columbine High School massacre]]. In the film, there is a short animated segment about the history of [[gun]]s, presented in a tone and animation style similar to that of ''South Park''. |
|||
Stone expressed anger over what he saw as a misleading attempt by Moore to insinuate that he and Trey Parker had produced the animation, when in fact they had actually turned down a request from Moore to contribute a similar short to the film. Subsequently, Stone and Parker portrayed Moore, in their film ''[[Team America: World Police]]'', as a [[suicide bomber]] who is revealed to have been made of [[ham]]. Stone later stated that he does "not really hate the guy" and feels he has evened the score. |
|||
== Musical career == |
|||
Stone is also a member of the band [[DVDA (band)|DVDA]] with [[Trey Parker]], for which he plays drums and bass. DVDA's songs have appeared in South Park, usually unnoticed. They include: Chewbacca, or I am Chewbacca, at the end of the episode "Starvin Marvin in Space", Orgazmo ("Now You're a Man"), BASEketball ("Warts on Your Dick"), South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut ("What Would Brian Boitano Do? Pt. II," "Hell Isn't Good" with lead vocals by James Hetfield of Metallica) and Team America: World Police ("America, Fuck Yeah," "Everyone Has AIDS," "Only A Woman" and "Montage"). There are also several previously unheard live songs made by them called "Crack" (or "Everybody Loves Crack"), "David Kelley, TV Warrior" and a cover of the Primus song "Sgt. Baker" (In a live recording of this song, Trey Parker notes the reason for the cover is because Primus were the only other band they've opened for). |

|||
He also appeared as a guest producer on the third track - entitled 'Natural Joe' - of [[Primus_(band)| Primus]]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s 1999 album ''[[Antipop]]''. |
|||
The name for the band comes from a rare sexual position (double vaginal, double anal) mentioned (although not depicted) in Parker and Stone's film Orgazmo. |
|||
==Trivia== |
|||
*Stone is a [[Libertarian]] [[http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_4108&pageNum=3]], but has equivocated about this, as he previously claimed to be a registered [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]. {{fact}} |
|||
*He claimed to have been on [[LSD|acid]] with [[Trey Parker]] at the time of the 2000 [[Academy Awards|Oscars]], where they wore dresses popularized by [[Jennifer Lopez]] and [[Gwyneth Paltrow]] at previous awards shows (and not much else). [[http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/612/612094p1.html]] |
