I had been one of the A-listers for 18 years before working with Doug on several projects, with one at HBO/Cinemax. He's a strong writer himself, came up with loads of great ideas. He hardly ever gave an off note, but maybe the biggest way he helped and educated me was his brilliance in crafting pitches and synopses. When he speaks, he sounds like a professor, and he thinks like one too: focused, concrete. He'd say, "What if you phrased it like this instead?" I'd look at his idea and feel like an amateur. He knew how to hit the critical points concisely, with far greater clarity. He knew how to shape a pitch into a story that put the buyer on the edge of her seat. I've worked on well over a dozen projects, with every major studio except Paramount. Some were dreams and some were nightmares, but I enjoyed working with Doug as much as any other producer or story exec in the business.
