Daniel Knauf is the creator of Carnivàle. A native son of Los Angeles, he attended a number of Southern California Colleges, studying fine art and, later, creative writing with an emphasis on poetry, graduating in 1982 with a Bachelors Degree in English from the California State University at Los Angeles. He then entered the business world as an employee benefits consultant.
After establishing himself financially and assuring the support of his young family, he returned to creative writing as an avocation, eventually directing his efforts toward screenwriting. In 1994, HBO produced his screenplay, "Canaan's Way" a western inspired by the popular Japanese "Zatoichi" films, starring Armand Assante as a blind gunfighter.
He subsequently developed a number of feature projects at various studios, most of which eventually shelved as "too damn weird." In 2001, Mr. Knauf turned his efforts to television, developing and writing several series pilots, including "Carnivàle," based on one of his early feature screenplays.
