Steve Dildarian was the brains behind the comical Budweiser "Lizards" spots, which he wrote while at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners a few years back. Now the ad guy is becoming a TV guy.
As a side project during his Bud stint, Dildarian worked on a series of pilots, including a wry animated short he wrote with his girlfriend called "Angry Unpaid Hooker," which screened at
the 2006 Comedy Arts Festival.
One thing led to the next; and based on the hooker pilot, Dildarian was commissioned to create the animated series "The Life & Times of Tim," which makes its debut on HBO on Sept. 28. Louie the Budweiser Lizard would be proud.
