Life and career
Zuiker was born in Illinois' Blue Island. When he was six months old, his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where his mother, Diana, worked as a blackjack dealer, and his father as a maître d'. Zuiker attended Chaparral High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. He attended Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, for three years and then moved to University of La Verne, California, before transferring to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he graduated. He was active in competitive forensics for four years, progressing to semifinals at the national speech tournament for the fourth year.
Dustin Lee Abraham, a high school buddy who served as a runner for the Jewish mob while in high school), sent The Runner, his first script, to the William Morris Agency, which announced, "No on writer, no on film." "I was like, wow that's a bummer," Zuiker said. They sold the script to a Showtime producer for a mere $25,000 before the Creative Artists Agency looked at it after it failed with the William Morris Agency. CAA had found a profitable buyer, but the producer, John Goodman, Courteney Cox, and Ron Eldard, who failed to sell, instead releasing what Abraham felt was a poor film, The Runner, in 1999 (though it did have John Goodman, Courteney Cox, and Ron Eldard).
He discovered scriptwriting as a profession early in his career. Zuiker said in a talk at the International Mystery Writers Festival in June 2008 that he had been living in Las Vegas when he first came up with the idea for the film. When his first wife begged him to stay in and watch The New Detectives on the Discovery Channel, he said he was going to go out to play basketball with some of his teammates. "I decided to remain, and that changed everything." He also admitted that he knew nothing about writing for television and, therefore, his pilot script "broke all the rules," thereby inventing the programs' signature graphic and storytelling styles. Addis/Wechsler's David Seltzer introduced the idea to his boss Margaret Riley and then went out of their way to sell it to various companies. Scott Greenberg, a creative Artists agent, loved the script and brought him to the attention of Jonathan Littman, president of Jerry Bruckheimer Television, and Zuiker was licensed to produce for television. Nina Tassler, the former head of CBS drama, successfully pitched the script to her bosses and a deal was agreed.
The show's success culminated in a joint venture overall contract with CBS Productions and Alliance Atlantis, which took place on June 5, 2003.
