In early 2009, I optioned my original screwball caper comedy feature screenplay, "Tackling Larry Csonka," to Ocean Size Pictures. This story was a direct result of my first dinner with Lionsgate president, Mike Paseornek, who recounted a story from years ago when he tried to bring down the Hall of Fame halfback out of pure, drunken curiosity. He failed.The idea for this over-the-top comedy haunted me until I had to get it on paper. This is the most fun I've ever had so far as a writer.
