CHUCK PATTON
Chuck Patton is an Emmy award winning animation producer/director, art director, storyboard artist, and veteran comic book artist. He is known for his dynamic storytelling, drawing skills, and almost encyclopedic knowledge of cinema between his ears.
A self-taught comics artist, but with a degree in art, Patton's influences included Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, John Buscema, Gil Kane, Neal Adams, and Dick Giordano. He was enticed into a comics career thanks to Giordano, by then a top executive at DC Conics. Patton entered the comics industry by penciling a brief run of The Creeper back-up stories in The Flash series. Later he became best known for his work on DCs' premiere super hero book, Justice League of America, specifically when the team relocated to Patton's hometown of Detroit, Michigan. His other comic work included issues of Teen Titans, Vigilante, X-Men Classic, The Brave and the Bold, Daredevil, DNA Agents and Blue Beetle.
After half a decade in the comics industry, Patton moved to Los Angeles and started a second career designing and developing then storyboarding, and eventually directing animated television shows.
His successful list of credits as a director include, Kulipari: Dream Walker, Dead Space Downfall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, NFL Rush Zone Season of the Guardians, Lucasart's Defenders of Dynatron City, Kong the animated series, Ultimate Book of Spells, Double Dragon, Swamp Thing, GI Joe, Wish Kid, Captain N, the Emmy nominated Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas and Todd McFarlane's Spawn, which won the Prime time Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program.
Two of the JLA characters that Patton co-created with writer Gerry Conway were adapted onto the hit live action Flash tv series on the CW.

STANLEY & BARRY LIVINGSTON
Chip & Ernie on "My Three Sons"
STANLEY LIVINGSTON: Can already boast a career of sixty-eight years in the entertainment industry - including a phenomenal twelve-year run as "CHIP DOUGLAS" on one of television's most popular and durable series, MY THREE SONS. The series remains television's second-longest running situation comedy and has been broadcast continuously for over 63 years! The Emmy nominated and Golden Globe winning show debuted in 1960 and ran through 1972. A total of 380 Episodes were produced.
Stan's career began at the tender age of four when he performed with an underwater swim group called the "WATER BABIES". The Water Babies appeared on YOU ASKED FOR IT, a popular television show back in the early 1950's, and inspired articles in VOGUE and McCALLS magazines. Stan turned actor at age five, appearing as a neighborhood kid on THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARRIET. Stan was seen as a semi-regular on the show for four seasons, until 1960, when he landed the role of "Chip Douglas" on MY THREE SONS.
Stan's career blossomed in the area of theatrical motion pictures as well. He has appeared in many feature films including Leo McCary's RALLY ‘ROUND THE FLAG, BOYS, with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward; THE BONNIE PARKER STORY, with Dorothy Provine; PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DASIES, with Doris Day and David Niven; X-15, with Charles Bronson and Mary Tyler Moore; HOW THE WEST WAS WON with Debbie Reynolds and George Peppard... and many more.
Stan is also a veteran of the Stage, having starred in such plays as SEE HOW THEY RUN, MISCHIEF, LITTLE WHITE LIES and THE NERD to name just a few.
Since his "My Three Sons" days, Mr. Livingston has worked in a multitude of positions in the Entertainment industry behind the camera, including: director, producer, executive producer, writer, cinematographer, editor - and, of course, as an actor.
Mr. Livingston is the owner of FIRST TEAM PRODUCTIONS - a Los Angeles based Production Company. Over the years, the company has produced feature films, television pilots, episodic television segments, documentaries, commercials, PBS style programming, music and educational videos, shorts - and even a 3-Strip 35mm CINERAMA Process Film, IN THE PICTURE.

BARRY LIVINGSTON: He was four years old when he was cast as Paul Newman's son in the film, Rally Round The Flag Boys. While filming, his eyes developed astigmatism requiring him to wear glasses. This was an image the producers didn't like for Newman's son and so he was promptly fired. Ah, Hollywood. As luck would have it, his new look established him as a new type of child actor: the odd, brainy looking kid with big glasses, buckteeth and unruly hair, a prototype nerd.
Barry soon found huge national fame playing Ernie Douglas on the classic TV series, My Three Sons, which ran for a phenomenal twelve years.
After Sons, Barry went to New York to be in the Broadway production of The Skin Of Our Teeth directed by Jose Quintero. Other stage roles followed: Cause Celebre at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, Bertesgaden off-Broadway, The Third Day Comes directed by John Cassavetes and the musical, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Recently, Barry can be seen in Bosch (recurring), How I Met Your Father, The Orville, The Rookie, NCIS: Los Angeles, Dear White People, Dead to Me, Narcos: Mexico, Mad Men, Big love (recurring) and more hit shows. On the big screen, Barry appeared in War Dogs, Jersey Boys, First Daughter and a number of Oscar winning films like Zodiac, The Social Network and Argo, a Best Picture winner. Recently available on Amazon Prime is the film, Notorious Nick, where has a major starring role.
