Greg Wayne

Who: He wrote for some of the lowest-budget shows in Canadian TV history before becoming head writer of a Toronto advertising agency. Joining the American Film Institute Conservatory brought him to L.A. and deepened his love for cinema.

His Big Break: “After college, I got a job writing for a talk show. We were a small team on an even smaller budget, but we had so much fun writing monologue jokes, desk bits, and sketches. Once I saw my writing come to life on-screen, there was no turning back.”
