Stan Evans is an Emmy-award-winning writer/producer who considers himself a story teller primarily. His first audience was his identical twin brother, Jimmy. They tried to make each other laugh almost as soon as the zygote split. While his twin went to work for Big Pharma after college, Stan used his brother’s contacts to get a job as a roadie for the Viva Viagra Band. But he kids. In reality, Stan moved to LA and performed standup at the Comedy Store. From there, he landed his first TV job, writing jokes for Greg Kinnear on E!’s “Talk Soup.” Then he developed the syndicated hit, “Blind Date.” During this time, he also wrote screenplays that went nowhere for such disparate types as Paul “Police Academy” Maslansky and Paul “Taxi Driver” Schrader. For the last decade, he’s been living on the mean streets of Burbank, working on bad reality shows you’d be proud to say you’ve never seen. Stan enjoys writing sci-fi, comedy and horror features. And if he can get his twin to laugh at a logline, he knows he’s onto something.
