Dan Schneider
Schneider started his career acting in minor roles in several teen comedy films of the 1980s such as Making the Grade (1984), Better Off Dead (1985), Hot Resort (1985), Happy Together (1989), and The Big Picture (1989). On television, he played Dennis Blunden on the ABC television sitcom Head of the Class (1986–1991). In 1993, he played Walter Peters in the ABC sitcom Home Free which ran for only one season. Schneider is the co-president of his production company Schneider's Bakery, which he founded in 1996.
He changed his career to working in children's television specifically for Nickelodeon. There, Schneider started as a writer and producer on the shows such as All That (1994–2005), and Kenan & Kel (1996–2000) before creating The Amanda Show (1999–2002). He gained fame for serving as the creator, executive producer and writer for numerous children's shows such as Drake & Josh (2004–2007), Zoey 101 (2005–2008), iCarly (2007–2012), Victorious (2010–2013), Sam & Cat (2013–2014), and later Henry Danger (2014–2020), Game Shakers (2015–2019), and The Adventures of Kid Danger (2018). He also wrote and acted in the film Good Burger (1997) and wrote and co-produced the film Big Fat Liar (2002).
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, details of his alleged sexual misconduct and gender discrimination allegations towards Nickelodeon employees, many of them underage, were made public beginning in 2018. In response to the accusations, Nickelodeon ended their long-time partnership with Schneider. After a three-year hiatus, he discussed writing and selling a new pilot to a different network. The Investigation Discovery docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV (2024) detailed the numerous allegations against him of fostering a toxic workplace environment, which he has partly denied.
