About Ray Eckman

Ray Eckman (he/him) is a writer who cares way too much about obscure facts, subtitles, and small domesticated animals. He spends most of his professional time writing freelance or planning his next novel in ways that evoke thoughts of conspiracy theorists and their dubious pegboards. He tried writing a screenplay once and gave up after it set many fires, ran away with his wife, and threatened every local kitten in a four-block radius. Ray comes from a background in banking, which he ultimately left to pursue something that didn't have him staring at numbers all day. He loves all things geek and nerd. For Screen Rant, he writes features that focus on his favorite movies and TV Shows, which include properties like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the MCU, Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother, and The Umbrella Academy. When he's not writing, he’s probably avoiding writing and you can find him playing with Toby – his ginger tabby – cooking, hiking, or remembering some cringey thing he said seven years ago.
