Carl Kirshner

Carl began his career in the 80’s as an actor after graduating from drama school under the patronage of Peter O Toole and Maggie Smith and went on to appear in theatrical productions, including several West End musicals and Got Milk TV commercials. He then began screenwriting in the late 90’s and optioned his first script to an established Hollywood producer which led to Carl developing many scripts with various production companies in the UK and the US.
