Doug Walker was born in Naples, Italy; and because his father was in the Navy, lived in many different places across the United States when he was growing up. He went on to study film at Northern Illinois University, majoring in communications. After college, he worked as an illustrator and started making YouTube videos for fun. He first grabbed viewers' attention with clever 5 second movie versions of popular films, and gained more notoriety with his snarky "Nostalgia Critic" reviews. In 2008, "Nostalgia Critic" moved from YouTube to the independent site That Guy With the Glasses and Channel Awesome. By 2009, an increased income from advertising on the new site allowed Walker to quit his day job (a video that he made to commemorate the occasion also went viral) and develop his web persona full-time. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Leah Pickett

Brother of Rob Walker . Originally started off posting his videos on YouTube, but when they were pulled several times over copyright infringement, Doug received an offer to join Thatguywiththeglasses.com, named after him. Since then, Doug's web shows 5 Second Movies, The Nostalgia Critic, Chester A. Bum Reviews and Ask That Guy with the Glasses have aired exclusively on this web site. Is good friends with James D. Rolfe who is better known as the Angry Video Game Nerd. In 2007 they developed a feud after the AVGN reviewed Joy Stick Heroes (1989), which culminated in a battle to the "death". Both men have clarified that the feud was all in fun and that they actually are fans of each other's work. Despite all the poorly received movies he's reviewed, he says Die Schmuddelkinder (1987) is the worst movie he's ever seen. His favorite movie is Brazil (1985). Big Fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman, Transformers, and Ghostbusters. Son of Barney Walker and Sandra Walker . Good friends with Lewis Lovhaug , Noah Antwiler , Lindsay Ellis and Brad Jones , and frequently star in each others' videos. By mid 2012, Doug was convinced that The Nostalgia Critic (2007) was beginning to show its age and he was becoming more and more hard up for material, so he decided to bring the show's five-year-long run to a close following the release of To Boldly Flee (2012). While at the same time, site traffic for TGWTG had stagnated and a sure way of keeping people interested in their programming, Michael Michaud , the CEO, had acquired studio space in Chicago to begin producing some new shows to add to the line-up. Walker himself will be producing and starring in two of the shows. In January 2013, Walker decided to revive The Nostalgia Critic series, owing to both the critical failure of Demo Reel (2012) and because he became re-inspired to do reviews after watching Das wundersame Leben von Timothy Green (2012), and he has announced that on February 5, the show is coming back. Chicago, Illinois: Announced on the That Guy With The Glasses website that his flagship show, "The Nostalgia Critic", had ended, citing that the show had gone as far as it could go in terms of creativity and that he would focus on newer projects.
