Tommy Swerdlow is perhaps best known for writing the 90s family hit, COOL RUNNINGS, about the Jamaican Olympic bobsledding team, and for his more recent success writing THE GRINCH. But at the height of his success in the 90s, he was also battling an epic heroin addiction. He chronicled these experiences in his amazing and very funny directorial debut A THOUSAND JUNKIES and fictionalized them in his recent, hilarious and moving crime novel, STRAIGHT DOPE.
