I had a great dad and we had a great relationship, but he's still a part of my life.
jobs real hey
My first real showbiz job was on a Nickelodeon show called 'Hey, Dude.' That was my first real paid scriptwriting job.
running kids people
I still run into people in the business who skip over any other credits I have and say, 'I loved 'Hey, Dude!'' This was back in '88, '89, '90. It was a goofy show about kids working at a dude ranch in Arizona. We did 65 episodes; I wrote 13 of them. We didn't know what we were doing, but it was writers' boot camp. It was great.
jobs best-job doubt
Being a showrunner is tough, but it is incredibly rewarding and it is, without a doubt, the best job I've ever had.
