Biography:The talented, prolific, and in-demand screenwriter "David Koepp" was the mind behind many of the late-'90s and early-2000s biggest pictures. Writing for directors such as "Steven Spielberg", "Robert Zemeckis", "Ron Howard", and "Brian De Palma", Koepp was responsible for penning some of the highest-grossing films of all time. Comfortable working within any genre, Koepp takes pride in creating both character-driven pieces, like De Palma's "Carlito's Way" (1993) and his own "Stir of Echoes" (1999), and unforgettable action sequences like the T-Rex/jeep chase in Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" and "Tom Cruise"'s aerial infiltration of the CIA in De Palma's "Mission: Impossible" (1996).

Raised in the Midwest, Koepp began writing short stories in grade school. He eventually enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he studied playwriting and acting (his uncle was actor "Claude Akins"). More... Full Biography
