Michael R. Cusack (born October 25, 1990 (1990-10-25) [age 33]), also known under Gillsberry, is an Australian YouTuber, animator, artist, comedian, writer, director, and voice actor. He is best known for his independent cartoons with elements of black comedy and absurd Australian culture, such as Damo and Darren and YOLO, and his eventual work in television animation.
Michael Cusack is the co-creator of Smiling Friends alongside YouTuber Zach Hadel for Adult Swim, creator of YOLO Crystal Fantasy adapted from his characters on YouTube, and the creator of Koala Man for Hulu. He also directed the Australian Rick and Morty parody short Bushworld Adventures which aired in 2018.
When Michael was 19 years old and becoming interested in filmmaking, he spent several years directing his own feature film titled All Night Gaming which released in 2014. The movie is about a teenage slacker who pulls an all-nighter at an internet café to finish his school assignment due the next morning. Michael worked at Subway in order to fund the project, and most of the film stars his friends and acquaintances.
Michael's first cartoon on YouTube was an animation titled Gabe Newell at E3 which humorously depicts the Steam and Valve founder at the event. Michael had no prior animation experience, but found the process much easier in getting quick and funny ideas finalized compared to filmmaking.
