Trivia

William Kong
  • The characters of Mr. Tom Anderson (from "Beavis and Butt-Head" (1993)) and Hank Hill (from "King of the Hill" (1997)) are based, in part, on his experiences with his neighbors in Texas.
  • Played bass guitar for Anson Funderburgh and The Rockets, a Dallas based blues band, and for Doyle Bramhall, a Texas-based musician.
  • He was inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame in March 2007 in Austin, Texas.
  • He participated in Boy Scouts as a cub scout.
  • Raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
  • Co-founded The Animation Show in 2003, a festival of animation that put animated short films into more movie theaters in North America than any other in history.
  • He created "Beavis and Butt-Head" (1993) for MTV and "King of the Hill" (1997) for Fox.
  • In late 1996 he was determined to get "King of the Hill" (1997) off the ground and bring "Beavis and Butt-Head" (1993) to an end.
  • This resulted in a struggle with both networks as he tried to convince them that they were two completely separate shows.
  • Wanting to work on "King of the Hill" (1997) for Fox while not completely turning his back on MTV, he relented to allowing a series focusing on Daria but wanted to put the project in someone else's hands.
