 Trey was born in Conifer, Colorado, on October 19, 1969 to Randy Parker, a geologist, and Sharon Parker, an insurance broker. He has an older sister, Shelley Parker. He met Matt Stone (co-creator of South Park (1997)) while attending the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he had a double major of music and Japanese. While at UCB he wrote, directed and starred in Cannibal! The Musical (1993) (aka "Cannibal: The Musical!") based on a true episode in Colorado's history. After graduation from UCB (rumors that he didn't due to skipping classes to work on the movie are false), he and Stone were asked by then-FoxLab executive Brian Graden to create an animated Christmas card for his friends and family. The now infamous short, titled The Spirit of Christmas (1995), led to South Park (1997).

| Trademarks: |
He likes to use the line "God bless us, everyone" in movies or episodes of South Park.
Often works alongside Matt Stone.
His work often has an amateur appearance for the sake of comedy; South Park has paper cutout-style animation, Team America has intentionally bad puppetry and his live action movies often have intentionally bad acting.
Topical social satire
Highly lampoons celebrities and political figures |
| Quotes: |
(On his friendship with partner and collaborator, Matt Stone): "If anything, the friendship becomes greater because you share something special together that you don't share with your other friends".
<br />
<hr>
Cartman is the proverbial fat kid who everyone picked on, but he still hangs out all the time. His voice just sort of came from...doing Stan's voice but putting a lot of fat on it.
<br />
<hr>
(On Team America: World Police (2004)): "It's like a Bruckheimer musical".
<br />
<hr>
(On That's My Bush! (2001)): "A lot of people didn't get it. I didn't get it myself".
<br />

During the run we were like, "So there's two things we can't do on Comedy Central: Show Mohammed or Tom Cruise." |
