__TOC__

hm...this page is lookin' funny...what's with the extra space behind the H*R link?

I'll give this a tweak. It could use a space under the photo I think.

:I think we might want to incorporate the subpage "Facts" from 'Tavi into a section onto the page itself.  Also, we need to figure out what we are going to do with the "HomestarLinks" page that this page references.  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:38, 4 Aug 2004 (MST)

Okeydokey. I'll go ahead and import the Facts page into Matt's page. If we wanna move, we can do it later, right?
Homestarlinks...yeah...is there some special MediaWiki links page format thinger? That'd probably be the best way to do it. [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 16:00, 4 Aug 2004 (AZ)

Hey Whats the Link to the movie, i cant find it anywhere? 9-15-04

What's the deal with someone baleeting the facts, they were actually there for a while then it just said the article was a stub. I put the facts just under the article, as I didn't want it lost. So, anyone know what happened? P.S I love Matt Chapman[[User:MJ|Of course this is from MJ]]

:Looking at the page history, it doesn't seem that they were ever there.  Though we did talk about them... Nice work getting them over here.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:54, 4 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Inline refs ==

I've added the inline references back to the page.  I should have put a note or something on here about them a while ago.  Sorry about that.  When M.J and I were drawing up the plans for this page a long time ago, I made her put all of those inline references in there.  This was mostly because it would be so hard to confirm these hard to find facts.  In fact, I really didn't even believe a few of them at first.  Of course, this really only applies to this kind of page, where we are dealing with a real life person and can have a zero margin of error.  If we decide that we really don't like them, I suppose we can hide them in the code with comment tags.

Good work everyone, this page is looking great now. [[User:M.J|M.J]]


== Wife ==
From [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]] commentary:<br>
MATT: So this was, uh, my wife Jackie and I, who was not my wife at the time, wrote this cartoon.<br>

MIKE: I thought you said "she's not your wife anymore."<br>

MATT: Who's no longer my wife. No, that's not true.<br>

Jackie is still his wife, at least up to the time that recorded this. Since we haven't heard anything to the contrary, it should be assumed that they are still together.--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 18:05, 4 Dec 2004 (MST)

:I understand it the same way that you do.  Meaning: they are still married.  (Mike was confused at mishearing Matt.  Mike thought Matt said that he and Jackie were no longer married.  This confused Mike because Matt and Jackie are ''still'' married.  Matt confirms this in the next line.)[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:58, 8 Dec 2004 (MST)
::This conversation was months ago, but I wanted to go ahead and mention that Matt calls Jackie his wife on the ''[[Everything Else, Volume 1]]'' DVD, and is shown wearing a wedding band. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

== Sealab 2021 ==

Matt Chapman recently created a song and sound byte for a recent episode of Sealab 2021 (on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim"). The voice is the same as the one he used for Larry of [[Limozeen]]. Matt is credited on this page (in the Mp3's section): http://www.adultswim.com/misc/downloads/index.html

Does anybody know where I can get this now? I used to have it, but after my hard drive exploded, the quote had already been taken off the Videlectrix site. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 10:05, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

== The Curious Incident of the Paste in the Dessert ==

This page says Mike fed Matt cupcakes with toothpaste inside them. [[marzipan#Trivia|Marzipan]] says it was brownies with toothpaste inside them. Someone'd better clear that up. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 12:19, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Stick It in Detroit ==

Are we sure that the Matt Chapman here is our Matt? IMDB says "Matt Chapman (VII)", but our Matt is listed as Matt Chapman (II)

:I don't understand what you mean.  IMDb's [[imdb:nm1480095|Matt Chapman (II)]] is Matt of [[The Brothers Chaps]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:54, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Swearing? ==

In the tastes like chicken interview, he says f***. Could he be losing his morals? [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]]

That is redicoulous.  that was an interview, not on the official site.  I have never heard him swear on the site, so he isn't losing his morals. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:21, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I agree with Rogue Leader. To me, showing morals isn't not swearing at all. It's knowing when and where it's appropriate. An interview is more or less casual conversation, in which case it's okay. On the site, though, it wouldn't be appropriate. I think the Brothers Chaps are showing MORE morals than most current Flash cartoonists by not resorting to bad language or gratutious violence to make their cartoons funny. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

He isnt loosing his morals thats insane but he dose seem to be the less, um you could say, kids oritented of the 2 a few times on comentairys they have said they restarted the comentairy because Matt swore or he cuts of befor cursing. -{{User:NOT Billy Bob Bob/sig}} 01:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC) 
== 29 or 30? ==

Tomorrow is [[$11.01|11.1]], Matt's B-day. Does he turn 29, or 30? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

== Matthew vs. Matt ==

Yeah I *just* saw where [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&diff=201485&oldid=201484 Matthew] is listed... it was a rather [http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeyday/64531295/ obscure source] but it's true!

:If we're going to have that Burning Horizon Forum thing here, don't you think we should make a fun fact about his letter and donation to the HRWiki? Or is that just too much? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 21:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
::I get the feeling Joey didn't want to make a huge deal out of it. You should ask him, though. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:24, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Okey dokey. I thought he might, too. I'd understand if he wouldn't. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

== All the Real Girls ==

The [http://imdb.com/title/tt0299458/ IMDB information] doesn't list Melissa Palmer. And it's not on [http://imdb.com/name/nm0658371/ her page] either. If someone can confirm her role with the film I can add it to IMDB, otherwise the info here should be changed. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

==Brown Eyes==

It's a small tidbit, but we could add that he has brown eyes. At least that's what it looks like from Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer. {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 19:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

::::: I am not obsessed. <!--Maybe just a bit, but this is the HRWiki. Who can judge here?-->I have about as many of Mike (or for that matter, my last visit to the American History Smithsonian). Doesn't everybody have a couple pictures of celebrities stored away? &mdash;{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 02:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't think it's of any importance that he has brown eyes. This is not an FBI dossier, it's a writeup of what he's done relating to H*R. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

== Yoshi's Story ==

IMDB credits him as [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1480095/#actor1990 doing "various" voices on Yoshi's Story], but this seems unlikely to me, considering the game predates Homestar Runner (as we know it) by a few years. I also wonder about the "Thanks" allegedly credited to him in the 2000 film "George Washington". Anybody here know anything about this? - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 20:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

:[[Craig]] [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262432/fullcredits#producers is listed] as a producer for [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262432/ George Washington], so that seems likely.  As for Matt's [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300682/fullcredits#cast listing] on [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300682/ Yoshi's Story], I guess it's possible, since he does do voices.  Since it wouldn't have anything to do with Homestar Runner, I don't think it would matter what the date was.  But it could just as easily be a fan who thought it sounded similar.&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

:: I personally think that was either vandalism or a mistake. The game was made in Japan, and none of the voice acting that I recall in that game was in English (or Japanese, for that matter). I don't have any idea why they would have re-recorded the voices in the American version. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

<blockquote>
Where is Matt Chapman in the credits...he did some on the sounds and "voices", right?
:From what I remember from reading Wikipedia a few days back, Kazumi Totaka was the one who did the sounds and the "voices" in the game.

== Broken Links ==

Several of the links to endnotes are broken, apparently because the sites hosting the articles have taken them down.  [[User:76.114.206.220|76.114.206.220]] 03:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
:I found only one broken link, which I commented out so it won't appear for now. If anyone can find if that article moved somewhere else or summat, that'd be great. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

== Star Warped ==

It seems our favourite mad voice actor's had experience with editing Jedi Knight, and it's apparently carried over into more recent endevours...
I found this mod for Jedi Knight called Mechanics of the Force part 1 on Massassi.net (and another website that escapes me now, but had the level two years earlier, in '98), and you can find it here: http://www.massassi.net/levels/files/22.shtml. Incidentally, if you do have Jedi Knight, download that baby, it's great.
Now, I imagine you're thinking "Surely this can't be the same guy?" upon seeing the author's name, much like I did. But, if you do DL and play the level, you'll notice that not only does the author apparently provide his own voice acting, but does a damn fine job of it, too. Not a smoking gun, but there's more, <i>in</i> our favourite online cartoons:

[[current_status]]: Strong Bad, when running from Coach B and Zubs, makes the same footstep noises Kyle Katarn does when he walks. (There are also examples of a running-on-stone sound used all about the series, if I remember right.)

[[50_emails]]: Homestar types in 3TDted (or something like that) in an effort to delete an email. 3TD is the name of the main character in MotF. Coincidence?

Anyway, do all y'all reckon this is worth adding to various articles? [[User:Evil Egg|Evil Egg]] 13:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

:::: I don't really think this is necessary. Both Mike and Matt have had beards and ''not'' had beards, multiple times.

:::: As I'd like to emphasize again, I really think the extra image of Matt with a beard is unnecessary and placed awkwardly.

== Bacon Number ==

I think it's definitely interesting (and amusing) to include Matt's [[wikipedia:Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon|Bacon number]] in the article.  However, the internet's [http://oracleofbacon.org/help.php apparent authority] on determining one's Bacon number relies on information from the famous [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1480095/ Internet Movie Database], which in turn, appears to have some bogus information regarding Matt having a role in some episode(s) of an anime cartoon called [[wikipedia:Bleach (manga)|Bleach]].  I am not at all familiar with this show, but there is some [[forum:15310|discussion]] over on the hrwiki forums about this.  In the interest of accuracy, until this can be clarified, or someone can document a connection without including the questionable link, I am going to remove this information from the article. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 20:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

== Monster Safari ==
Just got this from [http://news.awn.com/index.php?ltype=top&newsitem_no=27980 AWN (and Twitter Search)]...
<blockquote>HomestarRunner.com creator Matt Chapman and Craig Zobel (GREAT WORLD OF SOUND) have been hired by the Jim Henson Co. to write the feature version of Screen Novelties' MONSTER SAFARI, according to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. Screen Novelties' Mark Caballero, Chris Finnegan and Seamus Walsh will direct the stop-motion feature. The original SAFARI short followed two hapless crypto-zoologists who try to protect Earth's monsters from a big game hunter.</blockquote>
...should we mention this on the page (and Craig's, for that matter)? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 15:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

The "Monster Safari" link goes to IMDB's entry for the 2007 movie, but Zobel & Chapmen aren;t listed as writers. It's apparently a different Monster Safari movie announced mid 2009.

:I found them listed on a Monster Safari movie set for a 2012 release.
