Douglas Reed "Doug" Ellin (born April 6, 1968) is an American screenwriter and director, known best for creating the HBO television series ''Entourage''. Ellin also served as executive producer and head writer for the series, and wrote and directed its 2015 film adaptation. He attended Tulane University. ==Life and career== Ellin was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of June and Marvin Ellin.〔〔(Doug Ellin (I) )〕 Before producing and writing for ''Entourage'', Ellin served as a staff writer for ''Life with Bonnie'', which starred Bonnie Hunt. The series ran from 2003-2004. Ellin has also written screenplays for two films, ''Kissing a Fool'' and ''Phat Beach''. He moved to Los Angeles in the early 90's to be a stand-up comedian and soon got a job in the mail room at New Line Cinema. It was there where he befriended film producer Mike DeLuca who funded Ellin's first short film ''The Pitch'', starring then unknown actor David Schwimmer. That short film got Ellin accepted to the American Film Institute, where he graduated from in 1994. In 1996, he directed the independent comedy film ''Phat Beach''. The film was made on a very low budget, and Ellin has called it "Probably the worst movie ever made". Two years later, Ellin made another independent comedy film ''Kissing a Fool'', starring David Schwimmer, who was now known due to his role on ''Friends'' which was in its fourth season. ''Kissing a Fool'' was sold for distribution and Ellin subsequently sold a few screenplays to Miramax. One, ''The Pledge'' was never produced although Ellin was paid seven figures for the script and was set to direct. He sold another unproduced screenplay for mid-six figures. Ellin's real success came in 2004 with ''Entourage''. The HBO show ran for eight seasons and Ellin made an eight-figure pact with HBO to continue producing television. Additionally, Ellin serves on the board of the Greenwich International Film Festival. Ellin wrote and directed the 2015 film adaptation of ''Entourage''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doug Ellin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
