Eglee was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in North Haven, Connecticut and Eastham, Massachusetts. He was graduated cum laude from Williston Academy and received his B.A. in English from Yale University. After a brief stint teaching film history at Yale, Eglee moved to California and worked for Roger Corman, where he served in a variety of production capacities and met then production designer James Cameron. With Cameron, Eglee wrote The Spawning. Later, he wrote and produced the mutant rodent film Deadly Eyes.
Joining Steven Bochco Productions in 1991, Eglee wrote and co-executive produced the ABC series Civil Wars for two seasons, during which time he also wrote for L.A. Law. In 1993, he co-created and executive-produced the short-lived ABC series, The Byrds of Paradise, starring Timothy Busfield, Seth Green and Jennifer Love Hewitt. After the show's ending, Eglee joined NYPD Blue during its second season, as writer and co-executive producer. In 1995, he co-created Murder One with Steven Bochco and was the show's executive producer. Again with Bochco, Eglee co-created and executive-produced Total Security for ABC starring James Belushi and James Remar.
In 2010, he became a writer and executive producer for the television adaptation of The Walking Dead, reuniting him with his collaborator on The Shield, Frank Darabont, who also executive produces The Walking Dead.
