Byron Lane is an author, playwright, and screenwriter.
His debut novel, A Star Is Bored, follows a celebrity assistant trying to manage his eccentric and hilarious movie star boss, partly inspired by Lane's experience as assistant to beloved actress Carrie Fisher. The novel has been featured in Entertainment Weekly, OK Magazine, and People Magazine, which praised it as "Funny, dishy, deeply affectionate... the force is with him."
Lane also wrote and co-stars in the play Tilda Swinton Answers An Ad On Craigslist, a comedy hit that has sold out in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and the Edinburgh Fringe. It has received critical acclaim from The Guardian, British Theatre, and Broadway World, which called it "Hysterical... Lane has written a brilliant tour de force."
He created and co-stars in Last Will and Testicle, an award-winning web series about his testicular cancer diagnosis. The series screened at festivals worldwide, was described as "fearless" by Cosmopolitan Magazine, and was named one of the "New York Television Festival Pilots to Put on Your Radar" by NBC Out. Lane also wrote and co-stars in the feature film Herpes Boy, starring Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer, which won Best Comedy at Comic Con and an Audience Award at the Austin Film Festival. Additionally, he wrote and produced a trailer for the series Gay Divorce, which was a finalist in Project Greenlight's See Yourself contest.
Lane is a regional Emmy Award winner from his career as a TV news journalist. Originally from New Orleans, he now lives in Los Angeles with his boyfriend, best-selling author Steven Rowley, and their rescue dog, Tilda.
