Terry George

Highest Rated: 94% In the Name of the Father (1993)

Lowest Rated: 38% Reservation Road (2007)

Birthday: Dec 20, 1952

Birthplace: Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK

A gifted playwright, George has been writing and producing plays at NYC's Irish Arts Center since the late 1980s. He combined his theatrical and journalistic experience-as a magazine fact checker and writer-to co-script "In the Name of the Father" (1993) with director Jim Sheridan. George first collaborated with Sheridan on his 1985 play "The Tunnel," based on his experiences as a prisoner in British jails in Northern Ireland, in which the future filmmaker starred and directed. "In the Name of the Father" earned Sheridan and George an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay-thorough research, passionate political themes, witty dialogue, and strong characterization made it an outstanding screenplay.
