Foreign Invader 9: Genndy Tartakovsky with Trevor Wallace

Animator Genndy Tartakovsky was born in Russia, and emigrated to the U.S. when he was only seven years old. He's now what I would traditionally call a "foreigner," but the place he holds in contemporary American animation makes him stand out as a bit of an outsider. Throughout his television career working on shows like Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and most importantly Samurai Jack. He has developed a unique style that makes him a genre onto himself and one of mine and Trevor Wallace's favorite animators.
