Signed a seven-figure deal with 20th Century Fox to continue working on Angel and create, write, produce and maybe even direct new series for the studio
Left "Angel" after its third season to join Joss Whedons new show "Firefly" (2002/I). Because "Angel" showrunner David Greenwalt left at the same point to write/produce "Miracles" he still remained involved in the story breaking process of the first seven season 4 "Angel" episodes. When "Firefly" was canceled after 15 episodes he returned to "Angel" and wrote/directed the season finale "Home". But he didnt return for season 5, because he felt that after his exit the "power vacuum" on "Angel" was filled and "business was taken care of, and quite well." He then came in contact with the pilot for the new show "Wonderfalls" and because that show needed an experienced showrunner he became involved.
