Dustin Lance Black’s Early Life and Education

He attended North Salinas High School and eventually pursued his passion for theater at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Theater, Film, and Television (UCLA), where he graduated with high honors.

After graduating, Black delved into filmmaking and achieved early success with his work on “The Journey of Jared Price” (2000) and “Something Close to Heaven”.

#Quote
1[on J. Edgar (2011)] I try not to consider casting when I’m writing – especially a biopic like this, when I don’t have the opportunity to meet the real guy. It’s enough work to try and figure out who he was and get a handle on how he might’ve been, how he might’ve talked, the things he might have been thinking, his behavior – you know, all that’s tough enough.
#Fact
1In December 2013 it was revealed that Black was in a relationship with British diver (and Olympic bronze medalist) Tom Daley, twenty years his junior.
2In 2010, he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Trevor Project, a national crisis and suicide prevention organization helping lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or “questioning” young people who are facing familial rejection or considering suicide.
3Longtime best friend of Drew Kuhse.
4Is a former Mormon.
