Early life

Rotter began his career as a production assistant and later the writers' assistant on the popular paranormal television show "The X-Files," working under series creator Chris Carter.

Career

Rotter wrote his first novel, "Duck Duck Wally," which was published by Simon & Schuster[2] in 2008. The novel "...pays entertaining dividends in this slapstick send-up of show business in general and hip-hop in particular,” commented a Kirkus Reviews critic.[3] A Publishers Weekly reviewer noted that “Rotter’s a talented writer.” Booklist called the book "Clever and funny." [4]

In 2010, Rotter published his second novel from Simon & Schuster, titled "The Human Bobby." About the book, Booklist said "An oddly constructed novel, but an oddly endearing one, too, with a protagonist you can’t help rooting for." [5]

In 2014 Rotter produced a television pilot for Amazon called The After, which was written and directed by Chris Carter.[6]

In 2015 Rotter was a writer/producer on 20th Century Fox Television's 6-episode revival of The X-Files.[7]

In 2017, Rotter was a writer/producer on the eleventh season of The X-Files on Fox, having written one episode titled, "Kitten."[8]
