Acclaimed writer and actor Mike White has a strange sensibility that could likely only be borne out of being the son of Evangelical pastor and author Mel White. Though Mike can do commercial stuff, like the Jack Black vehicles Orange County (2002), School of Rock (2003), and Nacho Libre (2006), most of his projects tend toward the more twisted side of life like the HBO series Enlightened and The White Lotus! Of course his most unusual project is his breakthrough writing and acting turn in the indie flick Chuck & Buck (2000), where he also goes shirtless several times and shares a steamy gay makeout with fellow writer/director Chris Weitz!
