The Brothers Chaps

The Brothers Chaps are Michael "Mike" Chapman and Matthew "Matt" Chapman, creators of the Homestar Runner series of animated cartoons. The brothers are originally from Indiana, but now live in Atlanta, Georgia.

Matthew Chapman
Matt (born November 1, 1976) is the primary voice actor of the site. Matt graduated from Florida State University Film School. He is married to Jackie Chapman and has two children. He plays in a band frequently referenced in the "Strong Bad Emails", Limozeen (which were actually played by Y-O-U in addition to Matt in their live Atlanta performances).

Michael Chapman
Mike (born September 20, 1973), a University of Georgia alumnus, is responsible for half of the Adobe Flash animation, the technical aspects of the site, and provides intentionally poor imitations of his brother's voice work for the Powered by The Cheat cartoon series. He is married to Melissa "Missy" Palmer, who provides the voice of Marzipan in the Homestar Runner series and has one child.

Career
Growing up in the 1980s, the two were creating comic books, filming Super 8 movies and eventually toying with a video camera.

The brothers have directed several music videos, including "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" by Of Montreal, "Experimental Film" and "Figure Eight" by They Might Be Giants, the former of which features the Homestar Runner characters, most notably Strong Sad, and "LA Lindsay" by Y-O-U, the band who also collaborated with the brothers on Strong Bad Sings. Their webcartoon, has, as of 2009, taken a hiatus with the only exception being a brief update for an April Fool's Day toon in 2010.
