Creator Context
Summary
American screenwriter known for Go, Big Fish, and Charlie's Angels. In a 2006 essay he supported the idea of a "diversity pass" on scripts to avoid all-white casts and pushed back against claims that such steps are racist. His recent work centers on screenwriting craft via his long-running podcast with limited overt political activity in the last decade.
