TV writer Marshall Knight and I connect on the need to create or explode, and on crafting a career that fits his indoor cat personality.
My guest Marshall Knight is a Hollywood TV writer. Most recently, he and his writing partner Rob LaMorgese were executive story editors on Suits LA. This was a natural continuation of their success in the writing room of the original hit show Suits, which was my pandemic comfort show, and I have watched every episode of it.
He first got into the studio system with an internship at Paramount in the Motion Picture Creative Division while he was finishing his degree at UCLA. Marshall then went on to get in a writer’s room as a PA on Lone Star. This led to a position on Homeland, yes, that Homeland, where he got to be in a room of writing greats, plus call the FBI to fact-check episodes.
One of my favorite things about this year has been getting to peek behind the curtain on projects Marshall is working on. It’s incredible to see real-time progress from a writer of his caliber as he talks through projects in development, searches for new ideas, and pitches new projects to studios. His shows are in my living room and have building-sized billboards on the Sunset Strip, but I know him as my smart cafe buddy, enjoy my convo with the incredible Marshall Knight!
