Bio

The Origin Story

Before becoming the face of gaming, Guy Beahm worked as a community manager and level designer for Sledgehammer Games, where he contributed to the development of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. He initially launched the Dr Disrespect character on YouTube in 2010 but took a multi-year hiatus to focus on game design. Upon his return to streaming in 2015, his high-production value and over-the-top 'macho' persona quickly separated him from the typical gaming creator, focusing heavily on a unique theatrical experience.

Rise to Fame

The Doc's meteoric rise coincided with the explosion of the Battle Royale genre, specifically through games like H1Z1 and PUBG. His 'Champions Club' community grew rapidly as he won back-to-back 'Streamer of the Year' awards in 2017 and 2019, cementing his status as the 'Two-Time, Back-to-Back' blockbuster champion. Despite a high-profile permanent ban from Twitch in 2020 for reasons that remained undisclosed for years, his transition to YouTube was one of the largest live-streaming events in history, drawing over 500,000 peak concurrent viewers.

Legacy and Current Influence

Today, Dr Disrespect remains a polarizing yet powerhouse figure in the industry, having survived significant professional fallout in 2024 to return to mainstream relevance. He has expanded his brand into game development as a co-founder of Midnight Society and recently moved into a leadership role as an advisor for Rumble Gaming. His influence persists through his relentless pursuit of 'Violence, Speed, and Momentum,' continuing to push the boundaries of streaming production and character-driven content.
