Is this Ken Pontac, the LazyTown storywriter?

[CmdrLuke]

Does anyone know who this odd bearded guy is? Is he anyone important or just a crew member? Why is Stefan on top of him?

Keep this away from LoveTHYconan or she will bust a nut.

And I have no idea, i have seen those pix before and thought the same thing.

[Ponycat]

No idea

BTW - did you notice that the T-shirt Stefan is wearing has Trixie's 'logo' on it ?

[nindanjoe]

I like that Trixie logo, it's cute. :)

I'm beginning to get that staying-up-too-late headache, so I need to hurry and sleep!

I haven't read this article, so I didn't know who it was until I scrolled down. Too sleepy, I guess. But that is Ken Pontac, writer for at least 2 episodes, Remote Control and Rottenbeard (source: IMDB).

There's a picture of his car somewhere out there.
It's pretty badass.

It's one of those stupid little SMART things, but it's blue with a huge Latibaer mural all over it.

Ohh okay, he's a writer? Because I remember seeing his posts about the show on Cartoon Brew, since I visit that site from time to time, but I didn't know what he was doing in LazyTown.

...he's kinda creepy in that first image.

[ooozmin]

Yep, that's Pontac

[Racoon]

yeea, that's Ken Pontac.

trust me, i talk to him on myspace xD

[Zokita]

That Trixie-logoed shirt is adorable, but I'd want one in red.

He seems like an awesome guy from the pics though.

[ChemKneazle]

Hmm...I can feel his stare...boring straight through my soul... X.X

I don't know if he looks like a guy I'd let my kids play with. (P.S. Don't really have kids. Don't really want them...ever...)

[LoveTHYconan]

hay! look what i found today...

same guy is same, right?

Ken wrote parts of two episodes and most of the Pirate song. Good writer, wrong job for him.

[finagle]

Part of it was timing, he was brought on because the schedule was so tight and the show needed an infusion of writing help. But he's been around for a long time and wasn't used to being second-guessed at every turn. Nobody likes it but that's what the job required, since Magnus called all the shots. He wound up being rewritten a lot and shot down a lot. Like I said, nice guy, great writer, just not the right guy at that time.
