Charlie Kaufman (born 1958), American screenwriter, producer, and director
On this show he worked with Michael J. Weithorn (with whom he would later co-create The King of Queens) and Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
The book formed the basis of Charlie Kaufman's script for the Spike Jonze film Adaptation. Orlean (portrayed by Meryl Streep in an Oscar-nominated role) was, in effect, made into a fictional character; the movie portrayed her as becoming Laroche's lover and partner in a drug production operation, in which orchids were processed into a fictional psychoactive substance.
