Dean Lorey - Screenwriter / Showrunner (Friday the 13th Part 9 / Major Payne / Arrested Development / Harley Quinn)

Dean Lorey.Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Dean Lorey. Dean is a screenwriter for such films as 'Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday' (Friday the 13th part 9), and 'Major Payne' as well as TV shows 'Arrested Development' & 'The Crazy Ones'. He has also been the show runner for shows like 'Harley Quinn' the animated series, 'Kite Man: Hell Yeah!', and 'Creature Commandos'. In this episode, Dean and I chat about how he got into screenwriting, and he shares some of his experiences on his early projects. Naturally we discuss how he came to write 'Fitness Confidential' with Vinnie Tortorich and Dean shares some hilarious Vinnie stories. Then we each share our own personal stories of the moment that we each found out that we are bald. Next, we jump into Dean's experiences writing the Damon Wayans vehicle 'Major Payne' and a possible upcoming sequel. Then, we talk about the television show 'The Crazy Ones' and what it was like to meet and work with an American icon like Robin Williams. I ask a ton of questions about how Dean was able to juggle working on FOUR shows at the same time. Dean was working on: 'Harley Quinn', 'Kite Man', 'Creature Commandos', and 'Poppa's House' all at the same time! Finally, we close out the show discussing Dean's involvement with the television show 'Arrested Development' in the later seasons, one thing we did not talk about this time, is Dean's 'ONE THING' series of videos on Instagram, where he discusses 'One Thing' he learned while making TV & film projects. Definitely go check out this new and fun series on Dean's Instagram account. It will be worth the watch, I promise!
