Jorge Thomson is a queer comedy writer and performer with Puerto Rican, New Mexican, and Irish roots. Much to the disappointment of his two lawyer parents, he attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts to study acting. He now performs improv regularly at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in both English and Spanish. Jorge was most recently a Staff Writer on WIZARDS BEYOND WAVERLY PLACE (Disney+) and co-wrote the season two premiere of TWISTED METAL (Peacock) while serving as Showrunner’s Assistant to Michael Jonathan Smith. Previously, he worked as a Writers’ PA on MODERN FAMILY (ABC), Development Assistant to Abraham Higginbotham (20th Television), and Showrunner’s Assistant to Jeffrey Richman on UNCOUPLED (Netflix). An alum of the 2020 National Hispanic Media Coalition Writing Program, the 2022 STARZ #TakeTheLead Writers Intensive, and the 2024 Disney Writing Program, Jorge likes to think he’s made a solid case for pocketing his law school tuition.
