  <about><![CDATA[David Benioff worked as a nightclub bouncer in San Francisco, a radio DJ in Wyoming and an English teacher/wrestling coach in Brooklyn before selling his first novel, &lt;i&gt;The 25th Hour&lt;/i&gt;, in 2000.

He later wrote the screenplay for Spike Lee’s adaptation of &lt;i&gt;Hour&lt;/i&gt; starring Edward Norton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. In 2005, Viking Press published Benioff’s collection of short stories, &lt;i&gt;When the Nines Roll Over&lt;/i&gt;.

Benioff’s screenwriting credits include &lt;i&gt;Troy&lt;/i&gt; (2004), directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and &lt;i&gt;Stay&lt;/i&gt; (2005), directed by Marc Forster, and &lt;i&gt;The Kite Runner&lt;/i&gt; (2007). Jim Sheridan produced Benioff’s screenplay &lt;i&gt;Brothers&lt;/i&gt;, and Hugh Jackman reprised his role as the clawed mutant in Benioff’s &lt;i&gt;Wolverine&lt;/i&gt;. Viking published his most recent novel, &lt;i&gt;City of Thieves&lt;/i&gt;, in May 2008.

Benioff is married to actress Amanda Peet; the couple has one daughter, Frances Pen.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>
