Ray Kosarin is an animator, director, producer, animation historian and college educator.

He is director and/or supervising director of a half-dozen television series produced in Europe and the US, including THE WORLD OF TOSH, DARIA, and BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD. His films and TV shows have been presented in multiple international festivals including Annecy, Zagreb, Hiroshima, Anima-Mundi, SICAF, and CICAF.

Kosarin writes and edits on animation history and production with articles in such publications as Animation Magazine, Backstage, ANYmator, and the international ASIFA Magazine, and is co-editor of Giannalberto Bendazzi’s vital and comprehensive, three-volume Animation: A World History.

He has served over two decades on the ASIFA–East executive board and on the ASIFA International Board from 2003-17 as international representative, writer-editor, and treasurer.

Kosarin currently divides his time between LA and New York, as animation timer on the Fox primetime show FAMILY GUY, and instructor in animation history and production at School of Visual Arts and Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
