Fard Muhammad

Fard (pronounced "fur-RAHD") Muhammad is an actor, editor, animator, and writer for Channel Awesome. Born and raised in Chicago, Mr. Muhammad has worked with computers since he was five years old- ultimately getting a bachelors degree in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a masters degree in computer graphics from DePaul University. In 2010, he started to pursue stand-up comedy and improv, where he appeared in stage plays and improv performances across the city.

A fan of Channel Awesome since 2009, he auditioned for the role of Tacoma Narrows in Demo Reel- which was awarded to Malcolm Ray- in 2012. However, Fard's audition went so well that he was kept on to potentially play other characters in the future.

He first appeared on Channel Awesome as the tough but aloof boss Mr. LeBron in Dragonbored, and later appeared as "General Anesthetic" Pop Quiz Hotshot (and in a cameo in the "Hocus Pocus" episode of The Nostalgia Critic).

In addition, he has edited (or helped edit) episodes of Shut Up and Talk- including episodes featuring Noah Antwiler, Mat Williams, and James Rolfe. He also co-wrote the questions for Pop Quiz Hotshot, and animated the show's logo animation. In 2015, he created a new animation for the Channel Awesome Logo, being the 3rd person (after Phelous and Marobot) to create a logo animation for the site. He later designed and animated the logo for Disneycember, recreating the classic Walt Disney Pictures logo animation but with Chicago skyscrapers and landmarks instead of Cinderella's castle.
