Todd Livingston is a filmmaker and author.

Livingston began his career as a comedian in the quintette (later trio) 'Open Season'. The group toured the U.S. and Canada, headlining clubs and colleges and becoming regulars at L.A's Comedy Store, New York's Comic Strip and Improv. Livingston co-wrote and produced the group's novelty song "The Shakespeare Rap," which became a top 10 hit on the Dr. Demento radio show, and became the group's signature bit.

During the non-touring time, Livingston took gigs acting for network TV and movies, including Unsolved Mysteries and Umberto Lenzi's Hitcher in the Dark.

Livingston co-wrote, produced, and directed the supernatural comedy film So, You've Downloaded a Demon at Accidental Films and the graphic novels, mainly published by Image Comics. He also worked on America jr., The Black Forest and The Wicked West, as well as The Living and The Dead, Chopper Zombie and the mini-series The Odd Squad.

In 2007, Livingston was the model for Professor X for the Marvel comic book X-MEN Origins: Jean Grey painted photo-realistically by artist Mike Mayhew. Actress Ashley Benson was the model for Jean Grey as a teen. From 2006 to 2010, he served on the advisory Board and nominating committee for the Spike TV Scream Awards.

Since 2017, Livingston has been writing Rocky & Bullwinkle comics published by American Mythology Productions.

The Black Forest won the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards for Best Horror Comic of 2004, and in 2005 The Black Forest 2 won the award again.^[1]
