STEPHEN GAGHAN (Director/Writer) won both a Golden Globe and Academy Award® for his screenplay for the film "Traffic."

Gaghan has also scripted seven of the 21 episodes of the horror series "American Gothic," a few of the first 13 episodes of David Kelly’s award-winning drama "The Practice" and an episode of "NYPD Blue" that won him a 1997 Emmy for Best Dramatic Writing.
In addition, Gaghan earned the distinction of having a spot on the 10 Best Unproduced Screenplays list for having cowritten (with Michael Tolkin and Michael R. Perry) "$20 Billion," a satiric comedy about Bill Gates and Microsoft for HBO, which is currently in development.
