Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Doug moved to Los Angeles in the early '90s to become a stand-up comedian. He realized, however, that he was much funnier as a writer and decided to devote himself to writing screenplays. By day he worked in the mail room at New Line Cinema, and by night he wrote spec comedy scripts. One of those scripts eventually found its way into the hands of producer Mike DeLuca, who immediately saw promise in Doug, as a writer and director. Bestowing his trust onto the young filmmaker, DeLuca funded Doug's first short film called ‘The Pitch’ (1993). The film starred a pre-‘Friends’ David Schwimmer and earned Doug a spot in the prestigious ‘American Film Institute.’ When he graduated from AFI in 1996, Doug set out to make his first movie, the indie comedy ‘Phat Beach’ (1996). Soon after, he followed it up with ‘Kissing a Fool’ (1998), which again starred David Schwimmer. Next up, Doug landed a staff writing job on the ABC sitcom ‘Life with Bonnie’ (ABC, 2002-04), starring Bonnie Hunt. Doug realised that he enjoyed the immediacy of television and decided to write a pilot script about a young up-and-coming movie star and his long-time group of friends. The pilot was called ‘Entourage’ and in 2004 HBO aired the first season. The show was a breakout success for the network and ran for eight seasons, before airing its final episode in 2011. Doug returned to the ‘Entourage’ world in 2015 by writing and directing a feature film reboot that premiered in the summer of 2015.
