These experiences later served as Hirsch's inspiration forGravity Falls.[8]He graduated fromPiedmont High Schoolwhere, as a junior, he won the school's annual Bird Calling Contest in 2002[9][10]and appeared on theLate Show with David Letterman.[11]

In July 2016, Hirsch threw a global treasure hunt[25](known as "Cipher Hunt") forGravity Fallsfans with clues hidden throughout the world including in the United States, Japan, and Russia. The goal of the hunt was to find a statue of theGravity Fallscharacter, Bill Cipher. After two weeks, fans of the show discovered the statue inReedsport, Oregon.[26][27]The hunt coincided with the release of Hirsch's tie-in book,Gravity Falls: Journal 3,which was released on July 26, 2016[28]and eventually became a No. 1New York TimesBest Seller[2]and appeared onThe New York TimesBest Seller list for nearly a year.[3]Aspecial editionof the book was released on June 13, 2017, and limited to 10,000 copies.[29]TheGravity Falls: Journal 3 Special Editioncontains blacklight writing, parchment pages, a monocle, removable photos and notes, and other features that were not included in the regular edition of the book.[30]Marketing forThe Book of Billrevealed thatGravity Falls: Journal 3has sold more than 1.3 million copies as of January 2024.[31]
In February 2018, Hirsch used his Twitter account to announce an officialGravity Fallsgraphic novel,through a series of puzzle pieces that he would release throughout the day.[32]Put together the puzzle pieces revealed the cover ofGravity Falls: Lost Legends; 4 All-New Adventures!which was written by Hirsch was released on July 24, 2018[33]and also became aNew York TimesBest Seller.[4]
Outside ofGravity Falls,Hirsch has done voice work for a number of projects includingPhineas and Ferb,[34]Rick and Morty,and as the announcer for theChelsea Perettispecial,One of the Greats.[35]In August 2016, it was announced that Hirsch was in negotiations to co-write the live-actionPokémonfilm,Detective Pikachu,alongsideGuardians of the GalaxyandCaptain MarvelwriterNicole Perlman,but he later revealed on Twitter that he had no involvement with the film.[36][37]Hirsch was a story contributor toSony's animatedSpider-ManfilmSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse(2018).[38][39]

Personal life
Gravity Fallswas inspired by Hirsch's childhood and his relationship with his twin sister, Ariel Hirsch, growing up during their summer vacations.[51]He placed many of his real-life experiences in the show, such as living in Piedmont and trick-or-treating with his sister as kids.[52]Dipper Pines,one of the lead characters ofGravity Falls,is based on Hirsch's memory of how it felt to be a kid. When Hirsch was around Dipper's age, he attempted to teach himselfbackward speechby reversing recordings of his own voice.[53]Hirsch described himself as "that neurotic kid who would carry 16 disposable cameras everywhere I went."[51]The characterMabel Pineswas inspired by Ariel.[54]According to Hirsch, Ariel "really did wear wacky sweaters and have a different ridiculous crush, every week" in a similar fashion to Mabel.[51]In the series Mabel acquires a pet pig, just like Ariel had always wanted when she was a child.[55]The character ofGrunkle Stanwas inspired by Hirsch's grandfather Stan, who according to him "was a guy that told tall tales and would frequently mess with us to get a rise out of us."[51]
From 2015 to sometime before April 2022, Hirsch was in a relationship withThe Owl Housecreator Dana Terrace.[56][57][58] Hirsch has praisedThe Owl Housefor its LGBTQ+ characters, stating that he had been prohibited from incorporating explicitly LGBTQ+ characters intoGravity Falls.[56][59][60]
Hirsch has been publicly critical of theWalt Disney Company,and has argued that, while Disney claims to support LGBTQ+ content, it does not live up to these claims. Hirsch has argued that Disney diminishes LGBTQ+ content by censoring or removing it to appeal to conservative viewers; by giving it less care, quality assurance, and merchandise; and limiting creative freedom in its television animation studios.[61]
In November 2020, Hirsch prank-calledRudy Giuliani'svoter fraudhotline set up by theDonald Trumpcampaign, by using the voices of multipleGravity Fallscharacters to reportHamburglar-esque ballot theft.[62][63][64]
