Career

Grillo-Marxuach joined the crew of Lost as a supervising producer and writer for the first season in 2004. He returned as a supervising producer and writer for the second season in 2005. The writing staff won the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Award for Best Dramatic Series at the February 2006 ceremony for their work on the first and second seasons.[1] The writing staff were nominated for the WGA Award for Best Dramatic Series again at the February 2007 ceremony for their work on the second and third seasons.[2]

In 2006, he left the Lost team,[3] and began working as a co-executive producer for Medium, as well as entering the world of comics with his own Viper Comics title, The Middleman. He also wrote the 2006 Annihilation - Super-Skrull limited series for Marvel Comics, part of the company's Annihilation event,[4] and the Annihilation: Conquest - Wraith limited series for the 2007 Annihilation: Conquest follow-up project.[5] He is also writer of Dynamite Entertainment's four-issue limited series Classic Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Apocalypse.

In 2008 the ABC Family picked up his television series The Middleman, for which he is the writer and producer. The series was not picked up for second season due to poor ratings.

In 2010, a pilot for "Department Zero"[6] was moved to active production by ABC. The pilot is based upon work by Jonathan Maberry.
