He met his longtime friend and collaborator Alex Kurtzman when both were 17-year-old students at Crossroads, a private school in Santa Monica, California. Orci went on to attend The University of Texas at Austin.[2]

Orci's producing credits include Star Trek, The Legend of Zorro, Mission: Impossible III, Transformers, and Cowboys & Aliens. He is the co-creator, along with Alex Kurtzman and J. J. Abrams, of the Fox science-fiction series Fringe, on which he served as consulting producer.[citation needed]
