Craig Dirgo
Craig Dirgo is an American author of techno thrillers and adventure novels, as well as non-fiction. He started off co-authoring with Clive Cussler on his non-fiction work. He soon moved to his own novels starring his character, John Taft, an agent of a fictitious US spy agency, the National Intelligence Agency. He co-authored with Cussler the first two "Oregon Files" novels.
After running projects at Cussler's National Underwater and Marine Agency group since 1987, he became a trustee of the organization.[1][2]
Craig decided to check out filmed media to gain insight into how scripts are properly designed.
He has worked as Stand In and Background on a variety of productions including:
The Nice Guys, The Accountant, News of the World, Cry Macho, Stranger Things, The Cleaning Lady, Better Call Saul, American Primeval, Messiah, Loves Lies Bleeding, Oppenheimer, Longboard, Outer Range, Deputy, Dreamland, Roswell, Those Who Wish Me Dead, The Silk Road, Briarpatch, Interrogation, and The Lost Bus where he earned SAG status.
Since 2024 he has been doing stand up open mics primarily in Taos and Santa Fe New Mexico.[citation needed]
