Randolph Severn “Trey” Parker III is an American actor, animator, writer, producer, director, and composer. He is known for co-creating South Park and co-developing The Book of Mormon with his creative partner Matt Stone
Trey Parker was born Randolph Severn Parker III on October 19, 1969, in Conifer, Colorado. Trey grew up with father Randy (a geologist), mother Sharon (an insurance saleswoman), and older sister Shelley. Randy, Sharon, and Shelley later became the names of Stan Marsh’s family on “South Park,” and Randy had a small role as Judge Jerry in “Cannibal! The Musical.” Parker took honors classes and loved Monty Python, and as a sixth grader, he performed a sketch he wrote, “The Dentist,” in the school talent show. The amount of fake blood in the sketch resulted in the school calling Trey’s parents, and he remembers that “the kindergartners were all crying and freaking out.” Parker started making short films at age 14, and during his later teenage years, he was interested in pursuing a music career and recorded the comedy album “Immature: A Collection of Love Ballads For The ’80’s Man” with David Goodman, who later wrote for “South Park” and served as a “fart coach” on the 1998 episode “Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus.”
