Friend, co-star and fellow Southern Gothic Hilary Burton got her start on MTV.
And the big man producer/ director Joe Davola?
Well you wouldn't have MTV without some Joe. Why?Davola began his career by aiding the creation and development of the MTV. He spent seven years there, where he rose to executive producer and head of development. While there,he helped mold the network's direction by producing long form and special live events, including The 1988 Video Music Awards, and created and produced their first original program, Remote Control.
Joe was also responsible for these other MTV shows: Singled Out, Road Rules, The Jon Stewart Show, House of Style, The Real World and MTV Sports.And don't know Austin some out there have suggested you could have a claim to some of that MTV money.
You might want to talk to your fellow Austinite Mike Judge about that.
