From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Damon Laurence Lindelof (born April 24, 1973) is an American television writer and executive, most recently noted as the co-creator, producer and head writer for the hit television series Lost. He has also written and produced Crossing Jordan, and wrote for Nash Bridges, Wasteland, and the MTV anthology series Undressed. Before these, he worked reviewing scripts at Paramount, Fox, and Alan Ladd studios.
Lindelof is a native of Teaneck, New Jersey. He attended film school at New York University, performing briefly in the band "Petting Zoo", and then after graduating, moved to Los Angeles.
Lindelof is also the writer of the 2006 comic book miniseries Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk for Marvel Comics, which takes place in the Ultimate Marvel universe.
He is a self-professed Stephen King fan and has placed many references to King's work into Lost, referencing most notably The Dark Tower series. Lindelof has been quoted as saying that the graphic novel Watchmen, written by Alan Moore, is the greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced, and the inspiration of it on Lost is evident many times in the show.
