Life

Family

Scheffer's father, Ben, was a Holocaust survivor,[2] who emigrated from the Netherlands through Ellis Island in 1941. His mother, Sandra, was the daughter of Jews who fled Russia in 1916.[3]

Education

Scheffer attended Purchase College, SUNY where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors in Theater.

Career

In 1997, Scheffer was honored with the Variety magazine "One of the Rising Writers to Watch" award. He has also taught and lectured at Bernard M. Baruch College, Lewis and Clark College and School of Visual Arts, Manhattan, New York City.

Personal life

Scheffer is openly gay; he and Olsen have been married to each other since the early 1990s.[4][5] About their collaborative process, Scheffer said: "Mark and I talk everything through but don't actually write together. We take turns on drafts, passing them back and forth for multiple revisions. Sometimes I'll write the first draft and he'll revise and sometimes he'll write the first draft. On set it's looser and we'll have to revise together but we prefer to actually write in our own space. The "fantasy" image of having desks facing each other and tossing lines back and forth doesn't work for us."[6]
