Darin Morgan

Morgan was born in Syracuse, New York and attended the film program at Loyola Marymount University, where he co-wrote a six-minute short film that led to a three-picture deal with TriStar.

A quirky, funny, sometimes gruesome story about a series of murders in a colony of circus freaks, "Humbug" is usually considered a landmark episode in the history of The X-Files for broadening the tone and style of the famously dark series into funnier, less predictable directions.

Morgan wrote two additional episodes of The X-Files, the absurdist cockroach invasion story "War of the Coprophages" (originally aired on January 5, 1996) and the famously convoluted "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" (April 12, 1996), as well as contributing an uncredited rewrite to "Quagmire" (May 3, 1996).
