SCOTT LAINER

Scott Lainer: I have a habit of writing in parentheticals (although I am trying to break it.) (I'm not doing a very good job.) (Please, make me stop.) I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, got harassed in junior high for being so good-looking, or maybe it was the acne, belly and braces, then improved myself enough to speak at my college graduation by vote of the class.

I took a job as a writer in advertising because I lost a bet, stayed for seven years, then got a fellowship in sitcom writing at Walt Disney Studios. While there, I soul kissed Minnie Mouse in a moment of weakness. This is the first time I have ever confessed it. Forgive me, Mickey.

I returned to Massachusetts to write screenplays and have completed 9, including comedies, dramas, thrillers and even a western. Ironic, since I am from the east. I've done well in some contests, but I'm most proud of my close family and friends, who have always given me the love and support to pursue such a ridiculous dream.
