J.G. Quintel

James Garland Quintel, or simply known as J.G. Quintel, is the creator of Regular Show. He was born on September 13, 1982. He also voices Mordecai and Hi Five Ghost. He has worked with other shows on Cartoon Network such as The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Camp Lazlo, and Adventure Time.

Life
Quintel was born on September 13, 1982 to his mother Terri Morris, and his father, James Allen. He also eventually would have a younger brother, Peyton Dean, who enjoys playing bass guitar. The brothers bonded by using Lego men and crude paper cutouts to create several short film projects for school, noting that this was a different approach compared to others who used dioramas, presentation boards and writing papers.

As a teenager, he would attend high school in Hanford, California in 1997, and graduated shortly after May of 2000, when he was nominated as a 12th grade California academic all-star.

After high school, Quintel attended the California Institute of the Arts, also known as "CalArts", as part of a summer program. However, it wasn't as easy to attend afterwards. He was not accepted at first, causing him to feel "a bit depressed". He would attend an unspecified junior college in the meantime while trying to get accepted in CalArts. He would eventually be accepted in. Eventually, J.G. obtained an internship at Cartoon Network studio to work on the Star Wars: Clone Wars television series.

One of his first films as an animator was in "2 in the AM PM". It is notably much more vulgar than Regular Show, including swearing and drug use, but it does have some of the same character ideas and voices as in Regular Show. Another film he made was "The Naive Man from Lolliland" in which Sam Marin voiced all of the characters, including the waiter and a prototype Pops. Also, he worked as an animator in the credits of the 2008 movie Horton Hears a Who! and as storyboard artist on the Phineas and Ferb episode, "Jerk de Soleil".

He has worked with Thurop Van Orman (of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack fame) and Pendleton Ward (of Adventure Time fame) at least once. He was a regular crew member on Flapjack and helped write the Adventure Time episode, "Ocean of Fear", before leaving to work on his own creation: Regular Show.

Quintel resides in Los Angeles, California. He is married to Cassia Streb, and the duo are raising a daughter, named Lynn Streb Quintel.

Voice Credits
Quintel provides the voice of Mordecai, and uses his regular speaking voice to voice him. When asked why he made the decision to voice Mordecai, Quintel responded: "I had done the voice of Mordecai in my student film, so when it came up and I was making a short I really wanted to do the voice again because I felt like he was already done. But the studio actually made me try out real actors because I’m not an actor and we did a whole casting call. We tried out a bunch of different voices, but at the end I really wanted to be Mordecai and I got to be [him]." In addition to Mordecai, he also voices Hi Five Ghost, and has voiced him since "Caffeinated Concert Tickets", replacing Jeff Bennett, who voiced the character in his debut episode "Just Set Up the Chairs". The reason for the casting change is unknown.

Due to not being a working voice actor for other shows, Quintel mainly voices the two above. Nonetheless, he occasionally provides voices for background characters, such as the Baby Ducks.

The following list below contains the characters Quintel is credited for voicing.
