Lucas Cruikshank

Lucas Cruikshank (born August 29, 1993) is a teenage American comedic actor. Living in Columbus, Nebraska,
He created the character Fred Figglehorn for a YouTube series named "Fred", on the video-sharing website YouTube. These videos are centered on Fred Figglehorn, a 6-year-old who has a dysfunctional home life and "anger management issues". Fred also speaks in a high-pitched voice, owing to the humor of his outbursts.
Cruikshank introduced the Fred Figglehorn character in videos on the JKL Productions channel he started on YouTube with his cousins, Jon and Katie Smet. He set up the Fred channel in April 2008. By April 2009, the channel had over one million subscribers, making it the first YouTube channel to do so, and the most subscribed channel at the time though hated across the internet.
In December 2009, Cruikshank filmed Fred: The Movie, which aired on Nickelodeon, in September 2010. Nickelodeon hopes to create a franchise surrounding the character and has a sequel released called Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred. He also has his own show called " FRED THE SHOW".
==Sponsorship and appearances==
The Zipit Wireless Messenger (Z2) has sponsored Cruikshank's "Fred" through the first season, which had several cameos in various videos posted to the Fred Channel. Although the collaboration had originally been kept low-key, Fred now has a separate website promoting the Zipit and has starred in television ads for the device on Nickelodeon.
He made a cameo appearance as both "Fred" and himself on Nickelodeon's iCarly in "iMeet Fred", which originally aired on February 16, 2009.
Walden Media also hired Cruikshank to promote the film City of Ember, along with the sci-fi novel it was based on, and cameos from the film's star Tim Robbins in Fred episodes and a mock movie trailer. Cruikshank recently launched a website to promote the Fred series and sell Fred T-shirts and other merchandise. The merchandise is also available at Hot Topic, Justice and Five Below stores. Cruikshank has appeared on The Tyra Banks Show, as well as the Hannah Montana episode "Come Fail Away", which aired December 6, 2009.
He appeared at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards as well as the 2010 Kids' Choice Awards presenting awards to winners off-stage.
