Do Only What You Can Do: Mike Henry at TEDxRVA 2013

Mike Henry is co-creator and executive producer of The Cleveland Show, a spin-off of the animated series Family Guy, where he was a writer and producer for the show's first six seasons. He continues to voice characters he created—Cleveland, Herbert, Bruce, Consuela and more. Additional acting credits include the movie Ted, a handful of TV shows (Robot Chicken, American Dad, Gilmore Girls), and the web-based series he created with brother Patrick, Kicked in the Nuts. A Richmond native, Mike attended Collegiate School and Washington and Lee University. Married with two children, Mike splits his time between Los Angeles and Richmond.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
