Biography

Tab Murphy grew up in Olympia, Washington. He began his higher education at Washington State University, studying forestry and wildlife biology, but after an existential crisis, he transferred to the USC Film School to focus on directing and screenwriting. His significant breakthrough came with a writing credit on Gorillas in the Mist (1988), which tells the story of Dian Fossey's efforts to protect Rwanda's endangered mountain gorillas. Tab earned an Academy Award nomination for this work, though he admits he didn't fully grasp its significance at the time and chose to skip the awards ceremony to go yellowtail fishing in Baja. He then spent nearly a decade working with Disney, contributing to animated feature films such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Tarzan (1999), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and Brother Bear (2003), the latter receiving a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. During this period, Tab also wrote and directed Last of the Dogmen (1995), a western fantasy starring Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey. His work with Warner Bros includes writing screenplays for DC animated projects like Green Arrow (2010), Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010), and Batman: Year One (2011), adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel. In 2010, he wrote the thriller Dark Country (2009), directed by and starring Thomas Jane, filmed in 3-D for a Sony division. Tab has extensive experience in television animation, having written episodes for Thundercats, Scooby-Doo, and Teen Titans Go! He splits his time between Los Angeles and the Canadian Rockies.
