Olan Rogers

Thomas Olan Rogers (born June 11, 1987), known professionally as Olan Rogers, is an American director, actor, writer, producer, and YouTuber.
Rogers started his career on YouTube alongside two Collierville High School and University of Memphis friends in the comedy trio BalloonShop, known for their comedic sketches and shorts. After transitioning to his solo channel, Rogers uploaded videos of his own sketches as well as humorous stories of his life, short films, and even several animated shorts. In 2015, after lamenting his inability to meet with fans as often as he liked, Rogers opened a lounge called "The Soda Parlor" in Nashville, which offered arcade games and various desserts. In early March 2020, the Soda Parlor was destroyed by an F3 tornado and then looted in the aftermath.
In 2016, he created a pilot that became the animated television show, Final Space. The series follows a rogue astronaut named Gary, and his sidekick, a planet-destroying alien named Mooncake, both of whom Rogers voices. 10 episodes were released between February and April 2018 on TBS. The series was later added to Netflix overseas. A second season was released in 2019 on Adult Swim. Season 3 premiered on March 20, 2021. Rogers runs the social media accounts for the show, including the official Twitter account, calling it a "good opportunity" to connect with fans.
His channel reached 1,000,000 subscribers on March 26, 2019, but entered long periods of inactivity, which Olan later explained was a result of coming to terms with numerous personal troubles, including the destruction of the Parlor, and the death of his cat, Starscream. He is now returning to upload videos regularly again, in addition to continuing his work on Final Space.
