Greg Cope White is a produced television writer. He also steps in front of the camera and hosts. The Pink Marine, his first book, just came out in November, 2015.
His writing credits include HBO’s Dream On, Norman Lear’s The Powers That Be and 704 Hauser, Fox’s Life With Louie, Sony’s animated series Jumanji, and Disney’s Social Studies. He currently has a sitcom in development with Norman Lear’s Act III.
He moved from New York to LA to pursue his dream of acting. As fate would have it, shortly after he moved to LA there was a writer’s strike. As an unemployed actor, with nothing but time on his hands he decided to take up the craft of writing screenplays. Shortly thereafter, he was given a job in development by Norman Lear’s production company. From that point on Greg moved up Hollywood’s letter of success.
Seven months after being hired by Norman Lear Greg begin writing for television shows.
Greg wrote his book The Pink Marine for two reasons. When he began the book he wanted to show people that if he could become a sergeant in the Marines, then anyone could do anything they set their mind to. As he wrote the book he expanded it to include stories of what it was like to be gay in the military when the military considered a crime.
Our conversation was fascinating. We talked about life in Hollywood, writing for TV, they were networking, and the power of persistence among other things.
Here are just a few of the takeaways:
