David Mamet is an American author, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director. His works are known for their clever, terse, sometimes vulgar dialogue, and arcane stylized phrasing, as well as for his exploration of masculinity.
Mamet was born in Chicago, the son of a teacher and an attorney. He is a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company and gained early acclaim for a trio of off-Broadway plays in 1976: The Duck Variation, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, and American Buffalo. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for Glengarry Glen Ross, which received its first Broadway revival in 2005. Mamet’s first produced screenplay was the 1981 production of The Postman Always Rings Twice. He received an Academy Award nomination for The Verdict a year later.
In 1987, Mamet made his film directing debut with House of Games, starring his then-wife, Lindsay Crouse, and a host of longtime stage associates. He has remained a prolific writer and director, assembling an informal repertory company for his films, including William H. Macy, Joe Mantegna, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Ricky Jay. Like independent filmmaker John Sayles, Mamet funds his own films with the pay he gets from credited and uncredited rewrites of typically big-budget Hollywood films like Wag the Dog and Ronin.
