Early life


Roiland was born and raised in Manteca, California.[3] He attended Sierra High School up until the first quarter of his senior year and then transferred to Manteca High School for the remainder of his senior year, graduating in 1998.[4] After high school he attended Modesto Junior College in Modesto, California.[5] Roiland is dyslexic.[6]


Career


He eventually moved to Houston, Texas, and in early 2004, got involved with Channel101, an L.A. media collective started by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, where he made and acted in numerous movie shorts (such as 2 Girls One Cup: The Show, House of Cosbys and a small role as musician Christopher Cross in the series Yacht Rock) and in the VH1 television show Acceptable TV.[7][8] He appeared regularly on The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central as "Blonde Craig".[9][10] From 2010 to 2016, he co-hosted The Grandma's Virginity Podcast with future Rick and Morty writer, Ryan Ridley, and future Steven Universe producer, Jackie Buscarino.[11]

In 2012, Adult Swim approached Harmon to produce a new animated series for their network. Harmon approached Roiland and together they created Rick and Morty which debuted in 2013 to widespread acclaim. The show quickly grew a fan community as audiences praised the show for its unique story telling and incorporation of science-fiction elements. Roiland voices Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith. In addition to the voice work, Roiland serves as a co-writer and executive producer alongside Dan Harmon.[12][13] By the end of season 1, Rick and Morty became one of the most successful shows Adult Swim ever produced.[14]

The success of Rick and Morty spearheaded an entire franchise around it. Various Rick and Morty themed merchandise have been produced and sold. In addition to the show Rick and Morty maintains an app called "Pocket Mortys". On August 25, 2016, Roiland launched virtual reality studio Squanchtendo, a portmanteau of the company Nintendo and Rick and Morty character Squanchy.[15] It was later renamed to Squanch Games.[13][16] Its first full-length title, Accounting+, made in collaboration with William Pugh's studio, was released for PSVR on December 19, 2017.[17]


Artist


In January 2021, Roiland offered over a dozen artworks in his first NFT art collection, titled "The Best I Could Do". His highest-selling piece was by his Simpsons homage The Smintons, sold at $290,100. The collection sold for a total of $1.65 million.[18] Roiland also sold his first painting, titled mypeoplefriend, via auction by Sotheby's in July 2021.[19]
