Peter Hannan

He has several new film and television projects in development (for little kids, big kids, and grown-ups), and is working behind the scenes or in collaboration with a variety of talented cohorts, writing show bibles, scripts, and treatments, creating/designing characters, art directing, and songwriting.

Hannan has had a life-long interest in, some might say addiction to, singing and songwriting. He wrote the CatDog theme song, which he also sings. He wrote many other songs for the series, but mercifully left the singing to his remarkable cast. The most hilarious coup of his songwriting career was convincing Oscar-winning multi-hyphenate Billy Bob Thornton and Ally McBeal/Broadway star Jane Krakowski to sing two perfectly ridiculous songs (as two characters each) for CatDog and the Great Parent Mystery. Five Hannan CatDog songs are included on "The Newest Nicktoons" and several other Nickelodeon collections released on Kid Rhino.

Peter Hannan was born and raised in upstate New York. He is a proud victim of small-town public and parochial education and a graduate of tiny and notorious Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont, famous as the alma mater of David Mamet. Peter Hannan has never even met Mr. Mamet. Mr. Hannan lives in southern California with his wonderful wife (who he met when he was six and she must have been, like, negative ten or something), two fabulous kids, and two dogs, one of whom is certifiably nuts, but only when the doorbell rings.
