Jorge Reyes

Jorge A. Reyes was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. He is the creator of the UPN television series Kevin Hill. His brother is a police officer. He has referred to himself as Puerto Rican.

Around 1996, Reyes was working an office job in his hometown of Buffalo. He quit his job to become a writer, which caused him to lose his car, his girlfriend, and his apartment. He had to move in with his brother due to losing his apartment. A year later, he had his first writing credit on NY Undercover. He later moved to New York City and then to Los Angeles.

After his first staff job, he didn't work for 18 months. He spent that time writing his first 'spec pilot.' His agent at the time told him that no one would want to develop with a baby writer. That pilot got him two pilot assignments, his next staff job, and his next agents.
