DUSS info.

Fitzgerald brings to the Company 16-years of corporate experience in the licensing, design, entertainment, and manufacturing arenas. After graduating from university in British Columbia, Canada, he relocated to Portland, Oregon to help create the McFarlane Group of companies with partner Todd McFarlane. In 1992, Todd McFarlane Productions, Inc., a comic book company that to date has sold over 125 million comic books, in 30 different languages worldwide, was formed. He was integral in the acquisition and subsequent expansion of a manufacturing company that would later be known as McFarlane Toys. This company is known for its highly detailed action figures of licensed properties such as the Simpsons, Halo, the Matrix, Kiss, Elvis, MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL players, the Terminator, and the Beatles. With his vital involvement at the executive level, the McFarlane Group has grown from a two-person organization to one that now has distribution in four continents at such retailing partners as Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Toys’R’Us and Kaybee. To date total retail spending on McFarlane Toys action figures totals well over $1 billion. As President and COO of Todd McFarlane Entertainment, Inc., he oversaw the development and production of feature films and television series for New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Home Box Office, UPN and Fox Television. Mr. Fitzgerald’s role as producer and/or director of these projects, as well as on music videos, has garnered him two Emmy Awards, two Grammy Award nominations with one win, nine MTV Music Video Award nominations with two wins and one MuchMusic Music Video Award.

Dussault and Fitzgerald have been working together for the last year since meeting on the McFarlane DUSSAULT collaboration of the comic book character DEUCE THE DESTROYER, based on Jason himself.
