David Slack began his career in animation, writing for cartoon favorites such as Teen Titans, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Totally Spies. From Saturday morning cartoons, he somehow made the leap to Law & Order. He's still trying to figure out exactly how he pulled that off. Working in prime-time since 2005, David is currently writing for the ABC series The Forgotten, starring Christian Slater.
Lajos Egri's Art of Dramatic Writing, which explains that when we experience a story, we are always comparing the main character to ourselves. Thus, the main character must always do the most logical thing in any situation as it's the only way to ensure that the audience doesn't say, "Well *I* wouldn't have done that..."
Aristotle's Poetics are kinda important, too.
