Curtis was born in Chicago, Illinois and grew up a complete sci-fi, fantasy and horror geek in the suburbs outside of New York City.
Originally a comedic writer, director and improviser, Curtis first made his mark in the early 2000's as a renowned member of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in NYC. From there he went on to work on some of the most acclaimed alt-comedy projects in the country including MTV's Human Giant, The Onion News Network and two Adult Swim series; Fat Guy Stuck in Internet and NTSF:SD:SUV::
Curtis made the transition to drama television when he became a writer/producer on the fourth season of AMC's groundbreaking hit, The Walking Dead. He then wrote for the inaugural season of Damon Lindelof's HBO rapture series, The Leftovers, before joining Kurt Sutter's staff for FX's original series, The Bastard Executioner.
Some odd but true points of note about Curtis - He's been kidnapped, held at gunpoint, a homeless teen, a casualty of Lyme disease and a bass player for several indie rock bands.
Known as a prolific storyteller, Curtis can still be seen performing regularly at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in both NYC and Los Angeles.
