David Kirk Traylor
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, the third child in a family of four, he began his television career on the local program "Frank Edwards Presents" at the age of five, and his stage career as a mechanical toy in the Royal Danish Ballet at the age of seven. While still a child, his family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he studied acting and writing at the Actors and Writers Workshop under Walter Roberts, Eric and Julia Roberts' father. By high school, his family had moved again, this time to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, where he would have his first experiences performing Shakespeare. However, his real passion was comedy. So, still in his teens, he started hanging out in the back of The Improv comedy club in New York (on Thursdays when there was no cover) and doing stand-up of his own at any and every venue that would allow a baby face to perform. In college, he studied Radio, Television and Film at Temple University in Philadelphia. In his junior year, he won a scholarship to study abroad in Rome, Italy. This was a major turning point in his life. Arriving in Rome with two hundred dollars in travelers checks, within a year he went from starving foreign student to international television phenomenon. Two hundred dollars wasn't much, even back then. So, in addition to a full academic work load at the university, he worked as a mime in Rome's Piazza Navona by day and as a disc jockey in English at Radio Daily American by night. At the end of the semester, he got an offer to show tour of Italy. It didn't pay much, but it did cover expenses. At the end of the tour, the record company sponsoring the show made him an offer he couldn't refuse: if he would record with them, they would put him on Italian television. The record company made good on their offer, and even before the record was recorded, David was a co-star on the phenomenally popular program, "TILT!". EMI records, seeing David's success, bought out his contract and put him on the San Remo music festival as a special guest star. The record was immediately a top 40 hit. This meant gigs and other TV programs. Then came movies and a high-brow theater show for La Scala di Milano. He became one of the most prolific writers for the Italian version of the popular British political satire program, "Spitting Image". To this day however, most Italians know him and his ZED Robot alter ego from a live daily program that became one of the most popular television programs in Italian television history, "Pronto Raffaella?", a variety/talk show starring Raffaella Carà. It was the perfect comedy gym for David. Every weekday, he wrote and performed a sketch and improvised live (no 7-second delay) with celebrity guest stars. Guests included Gene Wilder, Gina Lollobrigida, Sergio Leone, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and a cavalcade of local and international celebrities. In 1989, David returned to the United States. He auditioned for, and won, a position at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, California. In '91, he married his Italian girlfriend. He played Vegas. He made the rounds of the most popular American television programs. In '93, he was the first new comedian on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In January of '94, David and his wife were nearly wiped out in the Northridge earthquake. Measuring a 7.8 on the Richter scale, it destroyed almost everything they had. All the work he had scheduled seemed to dry up before his eyes at the same time. A week later, they discovered they had a baby on the way. But 1994 still had surprises in store. In June, David was called back to Italy to do his own TV show, but not for the Italians; for an international satellite television network, to thirty-five countries, in English. The Mr. Zed Show ran for five years in its various versions. Re-run in the late night, it regularly beat out the Late Show with David Letterman in the region. In the meantime, the Japanese and the Brits woke up to ZED. In November of the same year, ZED appeared live for the first time on Japanese television, on NHK's "Zakubaran", as his first daughter, Sara Traylor, was born in Rome. The Jack Dee Show from London followed shortly thereafter. In '97, David's second daughter, Marina, was born. David is still based in Rome, as it's a lot closer to London and the same distance from Tokyo as Los Angeles. In 2003, he won the Most Unique Performer Award at the Tokyo International Comedy Festival. As of this writing, he has written and performed in nine TV series in three languages on four continents and made guest appearances on many more. A believer that "Man does not live by Zed alone," he has diversified, and to many is now better known for straight acting roles. In 2015, he completed two films, "Blood on Méliès Moon", as French film pioneer Georges Méliès, and "In Guerra Per Amore", an Italian romantic comedy about the U.S. invasion of Sicily in World War II.

Last year Kirschner produced Seed Of Chucky, the fifth installment of the successful horror-franchise, which opened in theaters in November. Additionally, Kirschner served as Executive Producer on last summer's 5-hour scifi-thriller miniseries, 5 Days Til Midnight.

In 2002, Kirschner produced Lions Gate's critically acclaimed thriller Frailty. Directed by Bill Paxton, who also starred alongside Matthew McConaughey, the film was lauded by the National Board of Review that year for Excellence in Filmmaking. A native of suburban Los Angeles, Kirschner began his career as an illustrator for Jim Henson's Muppet and Sesame Street characters. At 23, he wrote and illustrated a series of children's books entitled Rose Petal Place. This property spawned a total of 16 books, two television specials and over 1100 different products. In 1986, Kirschner created and executive produced with Steven Spielberg the smash hit An American Tail, which became one of the most successful animated films in history. This film was followed by the sequel AN American Tail 2: Fievel Goes West, a Saturday morning animated series, and direct-to-video features American Tails 3, 4, and 5. Kirschner's second feature film was the horror hit Child's Play, whose leading character, "Chucky", an animatronic doll which Kirschner created, became a cult star and spawned a second successful franchise with Child's Play II, child's play III, and the 1998 box-office winner, Bride Of Chucky, starring Jennifer Tilly. Seed Of Chucky, the hit horror comedy and fifth installment in the popular Child's Play franchise, opened in theaters in November. Kirschner's next production, Disney's hit comedy-thriller, Hocus Pocus, was based on his short story and starred Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. Kirschner also created and produced the NBC's Emmy-nominated The Dreamer Of Oz. Starring John Ritter, the television event was based on the life of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz creator L. Frank Baum. Kirschner also produced the Emmy Award-winning The Halloween Tree, written and narrated by Ray Bradbury. Kirschner later served as Executive Producer of Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict. A two-time Emmy nominee over its five-year run, Earth recently sold into 2nd run syndication and now can be seen on the Sci-Fi Channel. On the theatrical side, Kirschner executive produced the box-office smash The Flintstones, again in partnership with Spielberg. He then co-wrote and produced the Twentieth Century Fox/Turner live-action and animated fantasy The Pagemaster. This film was based upon the book co-written by Kirschner which was named the American Library Association's "Children's Book of the Year." Kirschner also produced the critically acclaimed animated feature Cats Don't Dance, released by Warner Brothers in the spring of 1997. Cats won both the Golden Crown at Annecy and the prestigious Annie Award (the American Animation Awards) for Best Feature, beating out Disney's Hercules and Warner Brothers' Space Jam. In Summer 2000, Twentieth Century Fox released Titan A.E., a space adventure loosely based on the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, Treasure Island.
