Matt Thompson

Matt Patrick Thompson is an American television producer, television writer, television director, animator, and voice actor.

Career

Early work Matt Thompson, and his creative partner Adam Reed, started at Cartoon Network doing various odd jobs until they came up with their own show, High Noon Toons, in the mid-1990s. High Noon Toons was a 3-hour programming block of cartoons hosted by cowboy hand puppets Haas and Lil' Jo (a Bonanza pun).

He has also voiced the "Talent Scout" character on the series 12 oz. Mouse.

Production companies Thompson and Reed formed 70/30 Productions when they started work on Sealab 2021. The company's name came from the plan that Thompson would do 70% of the producing and 30% of the writing, with Reed doing the reverse.

The pair became renowned for their work on several Adult Swim television projects, chiefly Sealab 2021 and their follow-up Frisky Dingo, which aired for two seasons.

In 2009, Reed and Thompson closed 70/30 Productions and formed Floyd County Productions to produce Reed's new project, the FX Network series Archer.

Archer has received positive reviews from critics and has won many awards, including three Primetime Emmy Awards and four Critics Choice Awards. The series has also received 15 Annie Award nominations, among others, for outstanding achievement in animation, writing, direction, and voice acting. At San Diego Comic-Con 2018, it was announced the tenth season would be titled Archer: 1999. Reed intended to leave Archer after its tenth season, although plans for the show were not finalized.

Since they founded Floyd County Productions, the pair have grown the company from a small eight-person studio into a competitive animation house. The company not only develops exclusive programming but also produces content for other media, including the TV shows Atlanta, Legion, Fargo, Goliath, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
