Stephen Gaghan (born May 6, 1965) is an American screenwriter and director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The New York Times">title=Stephen Gaghan )〕 He is noted for writing the screenplay for Steven Soderbergh's film ''Traffic'',〔 based on a Channel 4 series, for which he won the Academy Award, as well as ''Syriana'' which he wrote and directed.
==Childhood and education==
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of the former Elizabeth Jane Whorton and her first husband, Stephen Gaghan (d. 1980), and a stepson of Tom Haag, Gaghan attended Kentucky Country Day School, a college preparatory school in Louisville. He was an All-State soccer player where he held the assist record at the school for nearly three decades. He is a grandson of Jerry Gaghan, a newspaper columnist and drama critic for ''Variety'' and the ''Philadelphia Daily News''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://broadcastpioneers.com/skinner.html )〕 Gaghan wrote in a 2001 article in ''Newsweek'', "I also wanted to be a writer, like my grandfather, who carried a card in his wallet that read, "If you find me, call my son (father ) at this number..."
In his final days of high school before graduation, Gaghan was expelled for driving a go-cart through the halls of the school. During the release of ''Traffic'', a critic commented on one of the teen characters in the movie who is a drug addict and a straight-A student, calling it unrealistic, which Gaghan defended by stating that he had straight A's while he was addicted to drugs and alcohol. As Gaghan wrote in an article published in ''Newsweek'' in February 2001, "I wasn't much different from my peers, except where they could stop drinking after three or six or 10 drinks, I couldn't stop and wouldn't stop until I had progressed through marijuana, cocaine, heroin and, finally, crack and freebase--which seem for so many people to be the last stop on the elevator." Gaghan has stated that he began dealing with his addictions in 1997. "Over one long, five-day weekend, I had three separate heroin dealers get arrested," he said. "My dealer, my backup dealer and my backup-backup dealer. I was left alone, and I just hit that place, that total incomprehensible demoralization. That was the end of it; up five days straight, locked in the bathroom, convinced there was nowhere else to go, I had to kill myself, I'm going to kill myself. I just couldn't take another minute of it."
He attended the University of Kentucky and was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Oudelts.chapterspot.com )〕 He attended Babson College in Massachusetts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Babson at the movies )〕 He also started a catalog company, Fallen Empire Inc., which he hoped would support his writing career.
