John Gatins (born April 16, 1968) is an American actor, screenwriter and director. He was born in New York City, attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York and pursued a career in acting. After appearing in many lower-budget films, he got some bigger roles in Varsity Blues (1999) and Big Fat Liar (2002). Jeremy Kramer, an employee at Fox that Gatins was close with, paid him $1,000 to write a teen comedy. That sparked his career in screenwriting. His first film that he wrote was Summer Catch (2001).
