Vince Gilligan

Vince Gilligan (born February 10, 1967 in Farmville, Virginia) is an award-winning American writer, director and producer, who received a B.F.A. in film production from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. In 1989, Gilligan received the Governor's Screenwriting Award in Virginia for his screenplay Home Fries. He joined The X-Files as a writer in 1995, ultimately writing or co-writing thirty episodes of that series as well as six episodes of spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. In 1997, Gilligan, along with Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz and John Shiban wrote "Memento Mori", an Emmy-nominated episode in Season 4 of The X-Files.

He is currently the creator and showrunner of Breaking Bad, a series which features a mixture of drama and humor similar to some of his X-Files episodes.


[edit] Trivia

  • He often likes to include "in-joke" references to his girlfriend Holly Rice in his scripts. For example, the FBI employee that kicks Skinner in Pusher is named Holly.
  • In the second movie X-Files: I want to believe, the scene just before Mulder's car crash and you see him scrolling through his phone book, just before he gets to Scully's name you can clearly see the name 'Gilligan'.
