William Laurin, a renowned individual, was born in Montreal, a city that played host to his earliest years. Interestingly, he shared a birthday with his lifelong writing partner, Glenn Davis, who was born in the same hospital just two weeks prior. Laurin's academic pursuits took him to Loyola College High School, where he honed his skills and laid the foundation for his future endeavors. He furthered his education at Loyola College and, for a brief period, at Queen's University.
Laurin's early career was marked by his involvement in the Canadian sketch comedy group, The Maroons, which comprised Davis, Philip Bedard, and Larry Lalonde, all of whom would go on to become prominent figures in the television industry. In addition to his work in comedy, Laurin explored other creative avenues, including radio and politics. He also pursued a career in music, dedicating several years to his craft.
Laurin's most notable achievements, however, are those he has accomplished alongside his partner, Glenn Davis. Together, they have sold over thirty television pilots to a diverse range of clients, including NBC, CBS, Fox, USA, UPN, Lifetime, FX, A&E, WB, CTV, and Global. Their impressive body of work includes over two hundred television episodes, many of which have garnered numerous awards and nominations. Laurin's professional success is matched only by his personal life, as he is married to the talented actress and singer, Lori Alter.
