Greg Dorchak has spent much of his life finding humor in the absurd, the unfortunate, and the spectacularly stupid things people do. Way too often, those people include himself.
An author, screenwriter, filmmaker, actor, and former stand-up and improv performer, Greg brings a sharp eye, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and a decidedly irreverent perspective to just about everything he creates.
His books, including Of Pigs and Meteorites, They Ain't Gonna Get Any Deader, and All the Bad Things I Did, turn questionable decisions, childhood misadventures, and life's more ridiculous moments into humorous, frequently self-deprecating stories. He also shares the hard-earned wisdom, spectacular missteps, and behind-the-scenes absurdities of acting and independent filmmaking in his irreverent books on the subject. Think of it as a film school education, with considerably more sarcasm and fewer student loans.
Born in Virginia, raised in New York's Adirondacks, and seasoned by years in Las Vegas, Greg now lives in the Austin area with his wife and their two greatest productions: a pair of genuinely terrific grown children, neither of whom has yet demanded royalties.
When he's not writing, watching movies, or finding something new to complain about, he paints whimsical artwork, tinkers with cars, and pursues whatever project has temporarily captured his attention.
He also has a thing about light bulbs. Don't ask.
