He is a member of the Writers Guild of America and also collaborated with his brother Harry Medved on four satirical books about movies: The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (1979), The Golden Turkey Awards (1980), The Hollywood Hall of Shame 1984) and Son of the Golden Turkey Awards (1986). Of Jewish descent, Medved played a prominent role in the movie-related controversy over Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of Christ (2004), which Medved defended, but when Gibson was arrested for a DUI in 2006, Medved stated that he felt “betrayed” by Gibson’s anti-semitic remarks and urged Gibson to seek reconciliation with the Jewish community. Medved is married to Diane Elvenstar, who converted to Orthodox Judaism, and they have three children.
