I would wear this entire outfit today.
I’m still a writer and I still like to get paid for my work. But now I offer my family a slightly discounted rate.
Want to know more? Here is my official bio (in a suitably-distancing third person): Thomas Mizer is a three-time Emmy-nominated writer whose work has appeared on stages, in magazines, across billboards and within screens of various sizes and shapes around the country.
With collaborator Curtis Moore, he was the official songwriter for the acclaimed Amazon Prime series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel — returning with more original music than ever in Season 5, including the Emmy-nominated and 2023 World Soundtrack Awards Best Original Song “Your Personal Trash Man Can.” The Season 4 soundtrack featured the Hollywood Music in Media Award-winning and Emmy-nominated “Maybe Monica.” Their Season 3 song “One Less Angel” also received an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics” and can be heard alongside much of the rest of their work on the The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 3 Soundtrack Album.
As a lyricist and librettist, he was awarded the Fred Ebb Award, one of the highest honors for excellence in theater songwriting, and was the recipient of a Jonathan Larson Grant from the American Theatre Wing — both for his musical theater collaborations with Curtis Moore. Their credits together include commissions from Lincoln Center and the Williamstown Theater Festival as well as up-coming musicals for Universal Theatrical Group and Michael Cassel Group.

Mizer & Moore’s romantic mystery Triangle premiered at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley to rave reviews, with The San Francisco Chronicle calling it “astonishingly successful...rich in melody and emotion.” The production went on to receive six Theatre Bay Area Awards including “Outstanding World Premiere Musical” and the musical was named a Richard Rodgers Award Finalist by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

In addition to his theater work, Thomas is an acclaimed copywriter for national media brands including Comedy Central, Amazon Studios and Food Network. In his “prior” life as an actor, Thomas appeared in roles Off-Broadway & at regional theaters and starred as “Steve” in the First National Tour of Blue’s Clues, Live!, during which he played two sold-out weeks at Radio City Music Hall.
