James Garland Quintel, or simply JG, was born on September 14, 1982, in
Hanford, CA, to Terri (nee Morris) and James Quintel. Growing up in a
rather boring town, he and friends would have to entertain themselves
to pass time, many of these experiences grew into influences for many
episodes of Regular Show.
As he grew up, he grew fond of drawing, leading him going to California
Institue of the Arts (CalArt). There, he and friends compete in 48Hour
completions every weekend they would throw a word into a hat, draw a
word, and develop a cartoon from the word in 48 hour rushes. Two films
that came out of this were "The Man From Loliland" & "2 in The Am Pm."
These cartoons featured his voice works, alongside with future
collaborator Sam Marin. The features included pretypes of such
characters as Mordecai, Benson, and Pops.
After graduating, he got an internship at Cartoonetwork, working on
such cartoons as Camp Lazlo & The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.
Soon enough, he was finally able to pitch what is now Regular Show, for
a short lived block known as 'Cartoonstitute' when the block was
dropped, Regular Show was picked up as a series.
