Television After receiving a degree in film from Emerson College, Grahame-Smith moved to Los Angeles, where he wrote and produced for several television series, including Vendettas and the History Channel's History's Mysteries. Building on these experiences, Grahame-Smith was hired to produce an innovative CBS online series, Clark and Michael, starring Clark Duke, Michael Cera, David Cross, Patton Oswalt, and Andy Richter. While working on Clark and Michael, Grahame-Smith met another producer on the series, David Katzenberg (son of Jeffrey), who would become his partner in KatzSmith Productions. Under the KatzSmith banner, Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg created, wrote, and produced a scripted comedy for MTV called The Hard Times of RJ Berger, which follows an awkward high-school loser who gains notoriety for his extraordinary endowment. In October 2020, it was announced that Grahame-Smith would be serving as showrunner for an upcoming HBO Max series based on Green Lantern. He is also set to write the series alongside Marc Guggenheim. In October of 2022 it was announced that the show would take a new direction and that he had opted not to stay with the new project.
