- Director
Lucas Cruikshank is a teenage director and actor who got his start by
making videos with his cousins John and Katie, and posting them on YouTube. Together, the trio is known as JKL Productions. Lucas decided to make videos by himself a while after he came up with the character you
all love, Fred, who is an annoying 6 year old with an uncaring mother
and is most noted for his sped-up voice. Lucas said that he created the
first Fred video to poke fun at video bloggers who talk about every
single thing that they're doing in the video. The first video received
tons of positive feedback, and Lucas continued to post videos in the
Fred series, which he edits, directs, and acts in by himself. When not
making videos, Lucas auditions for movie and TV roles, and also pitches
ideas to television channels. He is also a dancer and takes jazz, tap,
and hip-hop classes. Lucas resides in Columbus, Nebraska, with his two
brothers and five sisters. He is the middle child.
