If you’re not familiar with him, odds are, you are familiar with the stuff he’s worked on. He was a writer, storyboard artist, and director on the 1990’s Nickelodeon animated series, Rocko’s Modern Life, where he also provided the voice for Filburt Turtle. He’s also a writer on a little known show you might have heard of called SpongeBob SquarePants, where he voices Plankton. Not only has SpongeBob recently celebrated its 20th anniversary on the air, but next week, Rocko’s Modern Life will be returning in a brand new TV movie on Netflix titled Static Cling, where Mr. Lawrence once again voices Filburt.###Brazil: A Vida Moderna de Rocko: Volta ao Lar
