To think he’s as off-the-wall as his screenplays would be off-the-mark. The Long Island native longs for quiet time, which he finds writing his strange, darkly comedic tales.''

''Charlie spent his sophomore, junior and senior years in West Hartford, Connecticut, after moving there from Massapequa, Long Island with his parents and older sister in about 1974.
