Trivia
ABC hired Lieber as one of the first writers to write a pilot for Lost. Unhappy with Leiber's and other writers subsequent efforts, ABC approached J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof to write a pilot for the show. Lieber (apart from his rejected script) has not had any input into Lost, creative or otherwise. However, due to legalities, he has to be recognised as a creator of the show.
Lieber is also credited on the movies Tuck Everlasting and Tangled, as well as having been the writer/executive producer for the unaired 2003/2004 pilot Hitched for FOX television.
Lieber was hired, based on his original pitch for Lost, to write the script for the "Pilot, Part 1", but ultimately the project stalled and ABC hired J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof to rewrite.
