About

01

Greg Spottiswood trained at the National Theatre School of Canada and spent the first phase of his career as an actor, dramaturg, and occasional director. He eventually found his way to screenwriting, and has since created and executive produced three television series, written award-winning movies for television, and had a play performed in Estonia. No kidding. He's currently developing new work with US and Toronto-based producers. Not too long ago he discovered his birth father was something of a radio personality. He's still thinking about what that means.
