David Benioff (born David Friedman; September 25, 1970) is an American screenwriter, television producer and writer, and novelist. He is the co-creator and showrunner of the widely acclaimed award-winning HBO series Game of Thrones.
Early life
Benioff was born David Friedman in New York City, to a Jewish family with roots in Romania, Austria, Poland and Russia.[1] He is the son of Barbara (Benioff) and Stephen Friedman, who is a former head of Goldman Sachs.[2] He is a distant cousin of Marc Benioff.[3] As an adult, he uses the last name of Benioff, his mother's maiden name, to avoid confusion with other writers named David Friedman.[4] He is the youngest of three children.[citation needed] He grew up in Manhattan, first in Peter Cooper Village, then on 86th Street where he spent most of his childhood, before eventually moving near the U.N. headquarters when he was sixteen.[5]
He is an alumnus of The Collegiate School and of Dartmouth College. While at Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Delta Alpha Fraternity and the Sphinx Senior Society. After he graduated in 1992, he worked in a number of jobs; for a time as a club bouncer in San Francisco, and he became a high school English teacher at Poly Prep in Brooklyn, New York City for two years, and served as the school's wrestling coach.[5][6] Benioff became interested in pursuing an academic career, and went to Trinity College Dublin in 1995 for a one-year program to study Irish literature, and while in Dublin he met D.B. Weiss, who would later become his collaborator.[1] He wrote a thesis on Samuel Beckett while at Trinity College, but decided against a career in academia after writing the thesis.[5] He worked as a radio DJ in Moose, Wyoming for a while.[7] He then applied to join the Creative Writing Program at the University of California Irvine after reading The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon (an alumnus there),[8] and received a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing there in 1999.[9]
Writing career
Benioff spent two years writing his first published novel The 25th Hour,[10][11] originally titled Fireman Down, and completed the book as his thesis for his master's degree at Irvine.[12][13] He was asked to adapt the book into a screenplay after Tobey Maguire read a preliminary trade copy and became interested in making a film of the book.[9] It was filmed as 25th Hour, starring Edward Norton and directed by Spike Lee.[14][13] He then wrote a collection of short stories titled When the Nines Roll Over (And Other Stories) in 2004.[15]
Benioff drafted a screenplay of the mythological epic Troy (2004) for which Warner Bros pictures paid him $2.5 million.[16] He also wrote the script for the psychological thriller Stay (2005), which was directed by Marc Forster and starred Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. His screenplay for The Kite Runner (2007), adapted from the novel of the same name, marked his second collaboration with director Marc Forster. He was hired in 2004 to write the screenplay for the X-Men spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), and worked on the script for three years.
In 2006, Benioff became interested in adapting the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series by George R.R. Martin and began working with D.B. Weiss on a proposed television series Game of Thrones.[17] The pilot was put into development by HBO in 2007 and the series greenlit in 2010. They act as the executive producer, showrunner and writer of the show, which began airing on HBO in 2011. Benioff and Weiss had previously worked together on a script for a horror film titled The Headmaster, but it was never made.[5]
In 2008, his second novel, City of Thieves was published. He has been hired by Universal Pictures in October 2007 to write an adapted screenplay of the Charles R. Cross biography of Kurt Cobain but the screenplay was not used.[18]
On April 10, 2014, Benioff announced he and D.B. Weiss had taken on their first feature film project to write, produce and direct Dirty White Boys, a novel by Pulitzer prize-winning author Stephen Hunter.[19][20] On July 19, 2017, Benioff announced that he and Weiss are going to begin production on another HBO series, titled Confederate, after the final season of Game of Thrones. Benioff and Weiss said, "We have discussed Confederate for years, originally as a concept for a feature film - But our experience on Thrones has convinced us that no one provides a bigger, better storytelling canvas than HBO."[21]
Directing career
Benioff and Weiss together directed two episodes of Game of Thrones, but used a coin-flip to decide who would get the credit on the show. Benioff was given the credit for episode 3 of the third season, "Walk of Punishment", while Weiss was credited with "Two Swords", the first episode of season 4.[5]
Personal life
On September 30, 2006, Benioff married actress Amanda Peet in New York City.[22] Together they have three children: Frances "Frankie"[23] Pen Friedman,[24] born February 20, 2007;[25] Molly June Friedman,[24] born in 2010; and Henry Peet[26] Friedman,[24] born December 6, 2014.[27] The family lives in Manhattan and Beverly Hills, California.
