A native of Long Island, New York, Guggenheim practiced law at one of Boston’s most prestigious firms before getting hired on the writing staff of David E. Kelley’s Emmy Award-winning show about Boston attorneys, The Practice. Guggenheim then joined Law & Order, for three seasons before moving on to the critically acclaimed series Jack & Bobby, and later CSI: Miami. It was Jack & Bobby that introduced Guggenheim to Greg Berlanti, which led to the development of Eli Stone, for which they received a Writers Guild Award nomination for Best Drama Teleplay.
Berlanti pulled Guggenheim in to help him produce the first season of Brothers & Sisters and he has continued to collaborate with Berlanti on the feature film versions of the DC Comics characters Green Lantern and The Flash. Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds, was released in June 2011.
Guggenheim has also pursued a parallel career as a screenwriter, with such diverse projects as the film adaptation of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013), a feature film version of Perry Mason for Robert Downey Jr., and an adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein’s sci-fi classic The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. 2014 marked Guggenheim’s entry into the world of prose, publishing his first novel “Overwatch” (Mulholland Books/Little, Brown), which Publisher’s Weekly called “a high energy debut…[which] will appeal to readers who appreciate an underdog.”
A life-long comic book fan, Guggenheim has been writing comics professionally for over ten years, working on titles for both Marvel Comics (“Blade,” “X-Men,” “Amazing Spider-Man,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), DC Comics (“The Flash,” “Justice Society of America,” “Batman Confidential”), and original creator-owned works (“Resurrection,” “Halcyon,” “Nowhere Man,” “Jonas Quantum,” “Stringers”).
He wrote the scripts for numerous video games, including “Call of Duty 3,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and “Singularity.” (Wolverine and Singularity were nominated for consecutive WGA Awards.) In 2008, he adapted the Stephen King short story “N.” into a Marvel Comics graphic novel and a 25-part mobisode series that was available online and through iTunes.
Guggenheim currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Tara, a fellow TV writer and WGA nominee, who is co-creator of The CW dramedy Reaper, their daughters Lily and Sara, and their pets Rocky, Lucky, Finn, and Jarvis.
