- Ahmed Lavalais was born in Los Angeles, Califonia and raised in Denver, Colorado, Alexandria, Lousiana, and New York, New York. He hopped from college to college-studying journalism, fiction, and directing before eventually pursuing a master's degree in screen writing at the American Film Institute. His circuitous path toward higher education was interrupted many times by some unusual experiences, that, combined with growing up in a law-enforcement family, have given him a perspective of crime-fighters, criminals, and the ethical question they wrestle with.Those questions, and the ambiguous moralities of the world of crime, have continually fascinated Ahmed and helped form his probative, unflinching writing style. Ahmed was the recipient of Fox's Diversity Fellowship and his script, Cleansed, about a juvenile drug rehabilitation center, was selected by Written By, the WGA Magazine, as one of the five best unproduced drama pilots for the 2006-7 season.- IMDb Mini Biography By: A.L.
