He's an old time Hollywood screenwriter (and the brother of Joseph!)
He won an Oscar for co-writing Citizen Kane.
I've got a feeling David will know all about him

Here's Herman's imdb entry:

Ah - that is kind of sad, but hardly unusual. Especially for a scorp. Doesn't drinking, gambling, and debauchery often go with a rapier like wit??? Especially then. I mean, F.Scott had the same downfall for nearly the same reasons. (as a hollywood writer) Very cool, though, he was part of the algonquin(sp) round table. Very cool he lured Ben Hecht out, too.
Good shared birthday, Trackie!!!

Wow!!! I'd be really stoked with Phil Hartman and F. Scott. me loves. Kevin Sorbo is cute, too, if a lousy "actor".
Sesly - F. Scott - one of my faves. Ah, the ennui of the wealthy and shallow, how it has always intrigued my mind....
