The Wrestler won the Golden Lion at the 2008 Venice Film Festival and has earned several Best Picture nominations.
Big Fan was recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It was revealed in an online interview that Siegel attempted to write drafts for a comedy film but end up being a drama because of the conflicts in the film as well as avoiding Patton Oswalt being typecasted as a comedic character.
Siegel is a graduate of the University of Michigan who later became senior editor of The Onion from 1996 to 1999, and editor-in-chief from 1999 to 2003.
