Hank's backstory:
East Coast kid who came to Hollywood when his book got optioned. Fell into the Los Angeles lifestyle and has been trying to dig himself out ever since.

Back in New York, the seasons grounded him, constantly filling him with hope and disappointment. The bright white blanket and blue skies of the first snowfall, only to turn a grimy grey the next day, awakened his senses; reminding him that life was larger than him. Without him ever knowing it, the seasons moved his internal clock; the crisp air of fall turning increasing cooler and then winter reminding to turn inward. It was this never-ending cycle from which Hank drew upon for his writing. The city of eternal sunshine and perfect bodies numbed his heart and impeded his pen. It is from great angst that best-selling novels are made. Without the seasons providing cover, angst became personal and Hank’s life began to fall apart.

Hank's books include "South of Heaven," "Seasons in the Abyss," and "God Hates Us All" (which became a movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"), as well as a blog for Hell-A Magazine. Hank also wrote the book that Mia stole - published as F#@king and Punching - and the unpublished biography of Lew Ashby.

CHARACTER CONNECTIONS

Karen, Hank's Ex-wife in CalifornicationKaren
Ex-domestic partner; mother of his daughter Becca
About the relationship...It seems that she cannot find a way to live with or without Hank but she loves him.
Becca in CalifornicationBecca
Daughter
About the relationship...
Hank knows that in spite of all his failings, Becca is the one thing he knows he did right. As her father, he genuinely understands that he has to get this right the first time...he doesn't get a second chance to go back and raise her again.
Charlie in CalifornicationCharlie
Agent, best friend
About the relationship...
Friends like this don't come along often, and frankly the female population might get a little jealous if it did. Charlie truly has Hank's back. The fact that he occasionally gets financial benefit from their relationship, Charlie recognizes Hank's talent. Exploiting that talent and its rewards are just a bonus.
Mia | Madline Zima in CalifornicationMia
Karen's fiance's underage daughter with whom Hank had a one-night stand
About the relationship...Mia f''d and punched Hank, set him up, stole his book, and started up a relationship with Ashby. Psycopath in training.

Mia is not so much a psychopath in training as she is an opportunist raised in a morally bereft society by a self-adoring father.

    Hank Moody is the smoothest guy on television. I want to be Hank Moody. Absolutly hilarious!!! Now that I'm reaching my mid-30's myself, its great to finally have a character I could relate to and live my old life vicariously through him. He always speaks the truth and everything seems to fall in his lap. Genius!! In a way, I dont ever want to see him get Karen back. Let the ride continue. The writing is incredible. Would love the opportunity to get in on the action and help with writing an episode. Let me know if you need a little help and/or advice. Keep it going!!! Easily the best show on television.

    看到他开着小黑驶向远方，是那么的悲凉与伤感。看到最后他在电影片场将演员与生活中的那些人一个个对号重叠，我似乎看到了hank的无力与孤独。他带着满脑子的Karen和演Karen的演员上床，我就明白这个男人上床不过是为了摆脱空虚，寻找一丝慰藉。
