More on Ryan Murphy
Description from Wikipedia:
Ryan Murphy (b. 1966) is an American writer and producer for film and television, best known for creating the hit FX series Nip/Tuck, about two upscale plastic surgeons with complex and sometimes twisted personal lives, played by Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon.
Murphy started out as a journalist working for The Miami Herald, Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News and Entertainment Weekly, amongst others. He began scriptwriting in the late 1990's, and his scripts The Furies and Why Can't I Be Audrey Hepburn? were both purchased by major studios.
In 1999, Murphy teamed up with producer Gina Matthews to create the teen comedy series Popular, which was picked up by The WB and aired for two seasons. He also filmed the WB sitcom pilot St. Sass starring Delta Burke and Heather Matarazzo, which wasn't picked up.
2003 saw the premiere of his series Nip/Tuck, which is both a commercial and critical hit, and is currently filming its sixth season. In 2006, he wrote the screenplay for and directed the feature film Running with Scissors. Based on the harrowing but oddly uplifting best-selling memoir by Augusten Burroughs, the movie version stars Annette Bening, Alec Baldwin, Brian Cox, Jill Clayburgh, Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Evan Rachel Wood, and, as the young Burroughs, newcomer Joseph Cross. In 2008, Murphy wrote and directed the FX pilot Pretty Handsome, which wasn't picked up for series.
He frequently casts the same actors for his different projects, and many of his Popular cast members have made appearances on Nip/Tuck, including Leslie Bibb, Leslie Grossman, Bryce Johnson, Robert Gant and Lisa Darr.
