E218 Gary Dontzig is a multi-Emmy-winning television writer and producer (Murphy Brown), a screenwriter and actor, a vegan and a cancer survivor human. He’s written and produced for many hit shows, including Suddenly Susan, Becker, Hannah Montana and A Different World. His acting resume lists Laverne & Shirley, Logan’s Run, Chico and the Man, and The Waltons, among others, and he has a list of creative accomplishments a mile long. When diagnosed with cancer, something about it felt off. Gary listened to his intuition, began to research, and made a discovery that ultimately saved his life. He’s known true love and deep heartache, and has delved deep into life’s most profound mysteries. During the AIDS crisis, he lost many dear friends. Against the odds, he launched a new career at forty.  Now he spends his time in Sante Fe, enjoying the sunrise, cooking, memorizing poetry and working on scripts. His mantra? A single word — but finding it was hard won: Gratitude.
