Adam Schiff Writes Screenplays On The Side he shared in his New Yorker profile that not only is he a movie buff (and often quotes The Big Lebowski), but also he writes screenplays on the side. There seemed to be more than a tinge of regret in the California congressmans voice when he recalled the story of his first screenplay, a pre-Holocaust story called Remnant. I had an agent at William Morris tell me it was good but no one would want to see it too depressing, he explained. Then Schindlers List came out, and I was, like, Come on! He wrote the next one while a prosecutor, a murder-mystery called Minotaur, which he said was almost accepted by Hollywood standards. But, he has high hopes for his third. Its a spy drama, he said. That one is a work in progress.

Damn I really liked “The Big Lebowski”, ,but knowing that it is a favorite of Schiff makes me doubt my mind. It certainly changes my thoughts on the movie.
schiff plainly thinks of himself as "the dude".
