Movies
Bio: David Dean Bottrell co-wrote the screenplay for the 2001 Fox Searchlight release KINGDOM COME starring Whoopi Goldberg, L.L. Cool J., Jada Pinkett-Smith and Cedric the Entertainer. Studio work includes scripts for Fox Searchlight, MTV Films, Paramount and Disney Feature Animation. He has sold pitches and original specs, adapted novels, rewritten scripts by other writers, worked in feature animation and has scripted two movie musicals. Although primarily a writer, he is probably best known these days for his reoccurring role as the creepy "Lincoln Meyer" on ABC's BOSTON LEGAL. His new blog, PARTS AND LABOR (a seriocomic look at being middle-class in Hollywood) has quickly developed a dedicated following. (see sidebar for more info). A former off-Broadway playwright ("Dearly Departed") and active WGA member, he mentors young screenwriters each summer in the Outfest screenwriting lab (a program he helped found seven years ago). His first short film, AVAILABLE MEN (which he also directed) had its world premiere at the 2006 HBO Comedy Arts Festival and went on to win 17 "Best Short Film" awards on the festival circuit including the World Comedy Festival in Toronto. A funny and facile public speaker, Bottrell is frequently asked to appear on industry panels around town and has guest-lectured on screenwriting, creativity and spirituality at several universities and seminaries around the country. The son of a minister, he is originally from Louisa, Kentucky and currently lives in Los Angeles.
