Person

Credits

Zeus X. Cervas (born September 19, 1974; age 46) is a SpongeBob SquarePants crew member from season 2 up until season 9. For much of this time, he has often worked with Casey Alexander, and both he and Casey worked as writers on more than 100 episodes since season 5. He was also paired with Erik Wiese in season 4. He briefly returned to work on the show during its 11th season as a freelance artist. He also worked on The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run as a storyboard artist.^[1]

Trivia

Zeus the Guitar Lord from "Tentacle-Vision" was named after Zeus Cervas.
- Ironically, he did not work on that episode. However, he was a storyboard director and writer on its sister episode “I ♥ Dancing.”
Zeus has also worked for the CatDog crew, the Family Guy crew, the Harvey Beaks crew, and the Star vs. the Forces of Evil crew. He also worked on Uncle Grandpa, since his former partner, Casey Alexander, worked on that show.
Zeus has worked on Aaron Springer's cartoon Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer with Casey Alexander on Disney XD. He was a storyboard artist and director for multiple episodes of the show.
