'''Frank Árpád Darabont''' (born '''Ferenc Árpád Darabont''', January 28, 1959)<ref>{{cite web|title=Celebrity birthdays for the week of Jan. 22-28|website=The Associated Press|date=January 17, 2023|accessdate=January 27, 2023|url=https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-country-music-tv-celebrity-birthdays-teddy-gentry-07ff63620f848616f7521abdbd6706da}}</ref> is an American film director, screenwriter and producer. He has been nominated for three [[Academy Awards]] and a [[Golden Globe Award]]. In his early career, he was primarily a screenwriter for such horror films as ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors]]'' (1987), ''[[The Blob (1988 film)|The Blob]]'' (1988) and ''[[The Fly II]]'' (1989). As a director, he is known for his film adaptations of [[Stephen King]] novellas and novels, such as ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' (1994), ''[[The Green Mile (film)|The Green Mile]]'' (1999), and ''[[The Mist (film)|The Mist]]'' (2007).
Darabont also developed and executive-produced the [[The Walking Dead (season 1)|first season]] and first half of the [[The Walking Dead (season 2)|second season]] of the [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] horror series ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'' (2010–2011). It was during the second episode of the first season of The Walking Dead that Frank Darabont wrote in the script one of the most ridiculous, out-of-place, and downright absurd lines this author has ever heard. “If you want me to go down this gnarly hole, fine— But only if we do it my way,” Glenn said to Rick just after their meet-cute. Why Darabont chose this wording, the world may never know, but one thing’s certain: it was one of the worst excuses in history to use the words “Gnarly hole” on television.
