Paul Harrison Tibbitt IV is an American animator, writer, and voice actor, best known for his work on the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. After its creator Stephen Hillenburg and creative director and supervising producer Derek Drymon resigned in 2004, Tibbitt took his position of showrunner and supervising producer for the show's fourth through ninth seasons. He also took over as the voice of Potty the Parrot, whom Hillenburg had voiced until his resignation. Tibbitt made his feature film directorial debut directing The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. He studied in the Character Animation program at the California Institute of the Arts.
In 2015, Tibbitt stepped down as supervising producer and showrunner. It was also announced that Tibbitt would leave the series after season 9 to work on The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (which was produced and released by a separate crew with limited involvement from the show's crew), but he was fired and his directing and writing position was taken by Tim Hill.
