Biography

Danny Strong fait ses études secondaires à la Mira Costa High School de Manhattan Beach. Alors qu'il est adolescent, il loue ses vidéos à Video Archives, magasin où travaille alors Quentin Tarantino, et a de longues conversations avec lui sur le cinéma. Il étudie ensuite le cinéma et le théâtre à l'Université de Californie du Sud. Il sort major de sa promotion et, à l'âge de 22 ans, donne des cours de théâtre à l'USC pendant la session d'été, devenant la plus jeune personne à assurer cette fonction.

Ses premières années en tant qu'acteur, à partir de 1994, se résument à quelques apparitions dans des séries télévisées et à des rôles dans des films indépendants. Il devient célèbre en interprétant le rôle récurrent de Jonathan Levinson dans la série télévisée Buffy contre les vampires, apparaissant dans 28 épisodes de 1997 à 2003. Il se fait ensuite remarquer pour son rôle récurrent dans la série télévisée Gilmore Girls de 2003 à 2007 et apparaît en 2010 dans quelques épisodes de la série Mad Men.

À partir de la deuxième moitié des années 2000, il se tourne essentiellement vers l'écriture de scénarios. Son premier script est celui du téléfilm Recount (2008) pour lequel il est nommé au Primetime Emmy Award du meilleur scénario pour une mini-série ou un téléfilm. Il remporte l'Emmy Award dans la même catégorie pour son scénario du téléfilm Game Change (2012). Il écrit ensuite le scénario des films Le Majordome (2013) et Hunger Games : La Révolte (2014 et 2015).

LouAnne (Michelle Pfeiffer), a discharged U.S. Marine, applies for a teaching job in High School, and is surprised and pleased to be offered the position with immediate effect. Showing up the next day to begin teaching, however, she finds herself confronted with a classroom of tough, sullen teenagers, all from lower-class and underprivileged backgrounds, involved in gang warfare and drug pushing, flatly refusing to engage with anything. They immediately coin the nickname "White Bread" for LouAnne, due to her race and apparent lack of authority, to which LouAnne responds by returning the next day in a leather jacket and teaching them karate. The students show some interest in such activities, but immediately revert to their former behavior when LouAnne tries to teach the curriculum.
