Career
Kapinos moved from New York to California in the mid-1990s, working in Los Angeles for Creative Artists Agency as a script reader, until Fox Studios purchased his first screenplay The Virgin Mary in 1999 and attached actress Jennifer Aniston to the title role. The film was never made, due to script rewrites delaying production past Aniston's availability between shooting her TV series Friends, but interest in the screenplay reached the Dawson's Creek producers who offered Kapinos a job later that same year.
After beginning his career in television in 1999 as a screenwriter and eventually executive producer on drama series Dawson's Creek, (of which he said his time on the show was like a four year boot camp, but also "a guilty pleasure for me”) Kapinos moved onto his own series, Californication, a dramedy for which he serves as both executive producer and chief screenwriter.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
