Mic Graves is a British director, showrunner, writer, producer, and voice actor. He is most known for working on Cartoon Network's The Amazing World of Gumball as the series director, and the voice of Banana Joe and various characters.

Animation career
Graves first worked on commercials and UK-related shorts; the most famous of these is The Canterbury Tales, before he was hired by Ben Bocquelet to direct The Amazing World of Gumball. He has worked in the animation business since 1998 and has won many awards and nominations for his work, which is probably the main reason why Bocquelet hired him to direct his show.
