Trivia

He quit his position as creator and show runner of The Terror after AMC declined to do any awards campaigning for the cast and crew of season one. He had nothing to do with season two, The Terror: Infamy.

His last name is Serbian and correctly pronounced "KYE-ga-nitch," but his family ultimately settled on the more American pronunciation "Kuh-JAN-ick."

Had a cameo which was cut from season one of The Terror in which he played a Canadian archaeologist from present day discovering the 170-year old remains of Lt. Jopson.

After a production issue forced two scenes to be combined in Bones and All, a new character of a Greyhound driver was created to converse briefly with the protagonist. As there was no time to cast an actor, Guadagnino sent Kajganich to costume, hair, and makeup to be in the scene which was shooting half an hour later. The scene was almost entirely cut from the final film.

Studied fiction writing at the University of Iowa's Writers Workshop.

Taught writing and literature before selling a spec script ("Town Creek") and moving to Los Angeles in 2003. Also worked as a wilderness guide and medic.

Named as one of 2005's "Top 100 People in Hollywood" by Fade In magazine.

Appears in the alternate ending to The Invasion in which he plays a snatcher trying to attack Nicole Kidman's character. As his own script made a point of clarifying that snatched characters no longer need things like medications and eyeglasses, he was required to remove his own glasses for the many takes, and could only find Kidman in the crowded action scene due to her hairstyle and height.

For his meticulous scholarship on season one of The Terror, Kajganich was inducted as a lifetime Fellow into the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and awarded the society's prestigious Louie Kamookak medal.

Named by Variety as one of 2006's "Ten Screenwriters to Watch."
