Lewis Green grew up in Philadelphia before making the move to Los Angeles, where he promptly quit college and began working on film sets. This early experience included over 300 TV commercials and a four-year apprenticeship with Emmy Award-winning director Jackie Cooper, who is known for his work on popular TV shows such as MASH, Trapper John, MD, and The White Shadow.
Green's work on film crews spanned various capacities and almost every major studio, including Universal, MGM, and Columbia Pictures. He went on to become a professional screenwriter, working as a full-time writer in Hollywood for twelve years. During this time, he wrote and developed stories for producers such as David Kirshner, John Davis, Jeffrey R. Neuman, and directors such as Barbet Schroeder and Raul Ruiz.
Green has written a total of twenty-four screenplays, with over a dozen sold, optioned, or commissioned by various entertainment companies. He has writing or producing credits on five films, which have featured directors like Peter Hall and Reuben Preuss and actors such as Antonio Banderas, Rebecca DeMornay, Dennis Miller, Jennifer Beals, Scott Glen, Theresa Russell, Daniel Baldwin Martin, Sheen, and F. Murray Abraham.
In 1998, Green began to devote time to his passion for black and white photography and theatre. He has written stage plays, including "Release" and "The New Patient," which he plans to adapt for the screen. His work in theatre led him to study acting at Jeff Goldblum's Playhouse West and later with Chris Fields at NoHo Studios.
In 2002, Green decided to move to Europe to enhance his personal and artistic life. There, he worked as a writer-producer on the development of the feature film "Dudes" with Studio Hamburg World Wide Pictures and the romantic comedy "Big Spender" for TV60 Film in Munich. His latest work, "Wo Ist Bahnhof?," is a multi-cultural sex comedy in development with Novapool Artists in Berlin.
In 2003, Green returned to Southern California and founded LG Home Products to satisfy his desires as an inventor. This led him to Asia, where he moved in 2008. He returned to the USA in 2019, having traveled to over 36 countries and lived in six.
