Paul Guay is an American screenwriter known for The Little Rascals (1994), Liar Liar (1997) and Heartbreakers (2001).[1][2][3]

Career[edit]

Guay co-wrote Liar Liar which he also conceived.[1][4][5] Roger Ebert said Jim Carrey's performance was brilliant and expected Guay and Stephen Mazur would be nominated for their "mind-boggling" writing.[6] Guay also co-wrote The Little Rascals[7] and Heartbreakers, and later pursued writing in the WWE, claiming it is as fake as Hamlet.[3]

During the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike, Guay considered revisiting poetry, even if the income was less than screenwriting.[8] In 2013, some of his tips for screenwriting were published in Writer's Guide to 2013: Cinematic Scene-Building.[2]
