In late 2005, Hecht launched Worldwide Biggies Inc., a new digital entertainment studio creating intellectual, web-based properties for kids, families and young adults that are designed for additional distribution in the film, TV and licensing arenas. Worldwide Biggies launched its first multi-platform hit on Nickelodeon and Nick.com in February 2007 with The Naked Brothers Band and has produced the Video Game Awards on Spike TV, which Hecht created during his tenure as the network’s president. Most recently, Worldwide Biggies signed on to develop a series of digital games based on the 1987 cult film classic The Princess Bride. Marking the first time the film will be brought into the interactive entertainment arena, Worldwide Biggies will create a downloadable game entitled The Princess Bride Game available summer 2008, featured exclusively on the film’s 20th Anniversary DVD from MGM Home Entertainment. Earlier this year, Biggies created MoCap, LLC, a new mockumentary webisode series that takes a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a small motion capture company whose artists are willing to sacrifice anything and everything for their art. MoCap, LLC is the first of six all-new original web series developed by Worldwide Biggies which will be released throughout 2008. In addition to the MoCap, LLC webisodes airing on Gametrailers (www.gametrailers.com) and Spike.com, the free to play companion game MoCap Man: Men with Balls is available for pummeling at www.mocapllc.com. In 2007, Worldwide Biggies launched Worldwide Fido (www.worldwidefido.com) an innovative user-generated online competition where popular breeds and mutts compete snout-to-snout to be crowned America’s next top dog.

Star an online celebrity fan community that features a celebrity fantasy league, a weekly video webcast and amazing Star Card artwork. Prior to starting Biggies, Hecht was the creator and President of MTV Networks’ Spike TV, the first network for men. Less than one month after launching the network, Hecht scored Spike’s first hit with The Joe Schmo Show, a program that gave birth to the genre of faux-reality. He also introduced the cult hit, MXC: Most Extreme Elimination, which Entertainment Weekly rated an “A” saying “take one part Jackass, two parts Iron Chef and 18 parts pure insanity and you have the recipe for MXC.” Along with two star-studded awards shows, The GQ Men of the Year Awards and Spike TV’s Video Game Awards (VGAs), the network achieved one hundred-percent unaided awareness among men 18-49 after less than two years in existence. By the end of his tenure in 2005, Spike was demonstrating double-digit earnings and ratings growth in all day parts and was the number three channel for men 18-49 and the number seven for adults 18-49. While steering Spike, Hecht also oversaw production at Nickelodeon Movies, where he was responsible for some of Paramount Pictures biggest films of the last five years. Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie brought in more than two hundred million dollars for the studio in the fourth quarter of 2004. Snicket, starring Jim Carey and Meryl Streep, garnered four Academy Awards nominations. Hecht was also nominated for his first Oscar in The Academy’s inaugural Best Animated Feature category, as the producer of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, (which was also a Golden Globe nominee). The Rugrats Movie was the first non- Disney animated feature to cross the hundred million dollar mark. Other hits that Albie Hecht either served as Producer or Executive Producer include Rugrats in Paris, and the live action success, Snow Day starring Chevy Chase. In all, Albie Hecht’s movie projects brought in more than a billion dollars for Paramount and Nickelodeon in box office and licensing revenue.
