Writer and producer Rob Thomas (not to be confused with the lead singer of Matchbox Twenty) is turning 52 today. After graduating from college, he taught high school for several years and worked for Channel One News in the early 1990s, before starting to make his name as a writer. He wrote several young adult novels in the late 1990s; the first published was Rats Saw God in 1996. He also began writing for television at this time, working for a while as a staff writer for Dawson’s Creek.
In 1998, Thomas’s series Cupid aired on ABC, but was canceled after only one season. He wrote the screenplay for Drive Me Crazy, and then created a second TV series, which began airing on UPN in 2004. It centered on a high school junior with a talent for solving mysteries.

Veronica Mars was a ratings flop, but enough of a critical success that it hung on for three seasons and was followed up, several years later, with a feature film. Thomas followed up by developing the revival series 90210 (which he was not involved in beyond the pilot) and a reboot of his earlier series Cupid, which lasted only seven episodes. His latest series, iZombie, was recently renewed for a fourth season by The CW.
