Acclaimed screenwriter and director David Ayer moved to the mean streets of L.A. as a teenager. The experiences of his youth helped shape his artistic vision, and his inside knowledge and affection for the culture of Los Angeles can be seen throughout his work.
At 18, David joined the United States Navy, where he served as sonar man aboard a nuclear attack submarine during the Cold War. After an honorable discharge, David began writing. He wrote and was a co-producer on his "calling card" spec script TRAINING DAY which became a hit film and garnered Denzel Washington an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Ayer co-wrote the submarine thriller U-571, starring Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton and Harvey Keitel. Other writing credits include, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, starring Paul Walker and Vin Deisel, S.W.A.T., starring Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell, and DARK BLUE, starring Kurt Russell. Ayer made his directorial debut with his original screenplay HARSH TIMES. The gritty drama, starring Christian Bale and Freddy Rodriguez, was released in the fall of 2006. David is currently working on various projects in development at Warner Brothers, Paramount and Universal.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children.
Hi David;
I have a book that is a murder mystery. The name of it is "A Cold Day In The Windy City." It is published and I have a contract. Here is the synopsis;
Miranda can't understand why no one will listen to her. She told the investigators she hired, that she didn't kill her husband Spick Lewis, but she must prove it to them. Bruce won't leave her alone. She suspects Bruce killed her husband, and John and Ron will have to prove it. She doesn't know how much longer she can take Bruce's punishment.
