As co-founders of MainBrain Productions, Tom Mason and Dan Danko have worked together on a variety of projects, including the TV series’ “Malcolm In The Middle,” “Lazytown” and “Rugrats.”

In addition to their work as head writers on PBS’s “Word World” and Granada TV’s “SuperNormal,” they have been head writers for two seasons of The Cartoon Network’s “Pet Alien,” Alphanim’s “X-Ducks” and Nickelodeon’s “Brothers Flub.” They were nominated for an Emmy as writers of “Toddworld,” but lost and hold no grudges. They are currently working on “Geronimo Stilton” for Mike Young Productions.

They've also written over 50 children’s books, many based on popular TV shows and movies including “Shrek 2,” “Survivor,” “Monster House,” and “Avatar.” They’ve written several books for Jon Scieszka’s “Trucktown” series that will be published in 2008 by Simon & Schuster. Before their work in TV, they were both editors and writers at Malibu Comics. Dan is “the tall one.” Tom is the “not-quite-as-tall-as-Dan” one.
