Writers Nick Reiner and Matt Elisofon, the cowriters of the new
addiction and recovery drama Being Charlie, did more than
their fair share of research in order to create a compelling,
convincing story: the two met when they were roommates at Promises
rehab and, after bonding over the usual rehab stuff (that is,
making fun of other residents), they started channeling their
newfound time and energy into a script. Originally something they
wrote for TV (though they confess they truly never thought it go
anywhere), Being Charlie eventually got into the hands of
Nick’s director dad Rob (When Harry Met Sally and The
Princess Bride, among many others). Originally, Rob was just
giving the boys notes; eventually, he signed on to helm the
project. The story, which focuses on the troubled son of a movie
star-turned-politician (played by The Princess Bride star
Cary Elwes), was strongly influenced by young Reiner’s own
experience (he’s been to 18 rehabs, starting when he was 14 and has
had bouts of homelessness you wouldn’t associate with a denizen of
Hollywood). In this episode, we discuss the most epic fights the
cowriters have had, the ways 12-step has and hasn’t helped them and
how the movie isn’t actually The Nick Reiner story, among many
other topics.
