Mike White Actor/Producer/Writer
Mike White was a writer and producer on Dawson’s Creek, Freaks, Geeks he wrote and acted in the films of Chuck & Buck, The Good Girl, Orange County, School of Rock and Nacho Libre. He had a role in the 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives and the 2008 film Smother. Chuck & Buck was named the best film of 2000 by Entertainment Weekly. In an interview with The New York Times, Jeff Bridges called White’s performance in Chuck and Buck “the performance of the decade”.
He frequently collaborates with actor-writer Jack Black on films. Together they formed the production company Black and White, which closed in 2006. He is not a fan of classic rock, but he wrote School of Rock specifically so Black could perform his own favorite rock music. He made his directorial debut with the self-penned Year of the Dog at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. White is a vegan animal rights supporter and received an award from animal rights group PETA for Year of the Dog, which was also the third screenplay of White’s to be nominated for Best Screenplay at the Independent Film Awards. (He won for The Good Girl.)
He was a member of the US Dramatic Jury at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Laura Dern brought him into a project with HBO which became the series Enlightened that premiered on October 10, 2011. White himself had suffered an on-the-job meltdown while running an earlier television series and incorporated elements of that experience into the new series’ plot. Dern’s character Amy Jellicoe goes to a Hawaiian retreat after her meltdown and is introduced to meditation, echoing to a degree White’s own exploration of Buddhist meditation, and the character Jellicoe tries to continue the discipline as she resumes her working life. He wrote the pilot and all the episodes in the first and second seasons. He co-wrote the screenplay for the computer-animated film The Emoji Movie, for which he received a Golden Raspberry Award.

He appeared on the fourteenth season of The Amazing Race along with his father Mel. They lasted for seven legs before being eliminated in sixth place in Phuket, Thailand. Mel and Mike returned to compete in The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business, where they were the second team eliminated in Tokyo, Japan.
He was a contestant on Survivor: David vs. Goliath, as a member of the Goliath tribe, then to reshuffled Jabeni tribe and the merged Kalokalo tribe. He made it to Day 39 and received three jury votes, finishing in second place behind the winner Nick Wilson. He had been a big fan of the show, because of his connections that had developed in a friendship with the show’s host Jeff Probst, he also provided the host suggestions towards improving the show. At some point, White decided to start trying out to be a participant of the show, but he failed to be picked over what he believed was a concern of having “sloppy seconds” from other reality television programs. White noted that once he was selected, he had had no other conversations with Probst until the game was concluded.
