Facts & Trivia

Judge began to develop one of his four animated short films entitled Milton, about an office drone named Milton that Judge created, which first aired on Liquid Television and Night After Night with Allan Havey, and later aired on Saturday Night Live. The inspiration came from a temp job he once had that involved alphabetizing purchase orders and a job he had as an engineer for three months in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1980s, “just in the heart of Silicon Valley and in the middle of that overachiever yuppie thing, it was just awful”. Judge sold the completed film Office Space to 20th Century Fox based on his script and a cast that included Jennifer Aniston, Ron Livingston, and David Herman. Originally, the studio wanted to make a film out of the Milton character but Judge was not interested, opting instead to make more of an ensemble cast–based film. The studio suggested he make a movie like Car Wash but “just set in an office”. Judge made the relatively painless transition from animation to live-action with the help of the film’s director of photography who taught him about lenses and where to put the camera. Judge says, “I had a great crew, and it’s good going into it not pretending you’re an expert.” Studio executives were not happy with the footage Judge was getting. He remembers them telling him, “More energy! More energy! We gotta reshoot it! You’re failing! You’re failing!” In addition, Fox did not like the gangsta rap music used in the film until a focus group approved of it. Judge hated the ending and felt that a complete rewrite of the third act was necessary. In the film, he made a cameo appearance as Stan (complete with hairpiece and fake mustache), the manager of Chotchkie’s, a fictionalized parody of chain restaurants like Chili’s, Applebee’s and TGI Friday’s, and the boss of Jennifer Aniston’s character, whom he continually undermines and interrogates over for her lack of sufficient enthusiasm for the job and the insufficient quantity of “flair” (buttons, ribbons, etc.) she wears on her uniform. The film released on February 19, 1999, and was well received by critics. Although not particularly successful at the box office, it sold well on VHS and DVD, and it has come to be recognized as a cult-classic.
