David Silverman (born on 15 March 1957 in New York City, New York) is an animator best known for directing numerous episodes of the animated TV series The Simpsons, where he would go on to be the supervising director of animation for several years, as well as animating some of the original Simpsons Tracey Ullman shorts. He was once credited as Pound Foolish as the director of the episode The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular.
