Trivia:

Created a computer game in the 1980s called "Zoid". He sent the game to a company and got a letter back from them. He realized that they would not take his idea when he saw that the letter began "Dear Mr. Cohan...". The name of Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama was a tribute to this game. See more »
