About Sean

Hey all,
I'm Sean Kenniff. I'm a fun-loving, dad, husband, former CBS news journalist, and former reality TV star. Living in Weston, Florida. In 2000, I appeared on the first season of Survivor (Borneo), and lost to naked Richard by 3 days. I'm also the inventor of The Jerk at Work doll. And I'm new to Stage32.

I'm a doctor in my normal life and a pretty good one. But I like to keep my extra-vocational life interesting.

I've written several books, including a very well-received novel (Etre the Cow), after I lived with cows for 40 days. I enjoy doing challenging but interesting things. I wrote the screenplay for "Fockers Without Borders" during the pandemic. It's the funniest movie that will never be made, and the much needed 4th movie in the Meet the Parents/Fockers trilogy. LOL. It just bothered me that TriBeCa, Stiller and DeNiro never made it. It seems like a natural plotline and a box office slam dunk. Those involved all have the screenplay, but they probably think I'm an absolute madman. Whatever, I did it because it needed to be done and nobody else would do it. Some ideas are too good to be left undone.

Currently I'm pitching a sitcom based on TED talks. It's been in my head for years, and I have a killer pilot episode and series bible. I just need help birthing it. Imagine if George Constanza, the loveable loser from Seinfeld, tried to improve his life by watching daily TED talks. That's the gist. On my wish list: Kenan Thompson as the star.  He'd be perfect. No offense to Kenan of course. 

Just trying to keep the ride interesting folks.

Unique traits: I speak three languages (French, English and Spanish) and a little Russian. I have very thick skin, like a pachyderm, and can take a punch (former boxer). I have an effervescent creative spirit.
