Early life
Rotter grew up in the same complex in Woodbury, Nassau County, New York, as writer Lesley Arfin and they both attended Syosset High School.[2] He earned a film degree from the University of Southern California.

Career
Rotter wrote his first novel, Duck Duck Wally, which was published by Simon & Schuster[3] in 2008. The novel "...pays entertaining dividends in this slapstick send-up of show business in general and hip-hop in particular,” commented a Kirkus Reviews critic.[4] A Publishers Weekly reviewer noted that “Rotter’s a talented writer.” Booklist called the book "Clever and funny."[5]
In 2010, Rotter published his second novel from Simon & Schuster, titled The Human Bobby. Booklist described the book as "An oddly constructed novel, but an oddly endearing one, too, with a protagonist you can’t help rooting for."[6]
In 2014 Rotter produced a television pilot for Amazon called The After, which was written and directed by Chris Carter.[7]
In 2015 Rotter was a writer/producer on 20th Century Fox Television's 6-episode revival of The X-Files.[8]
In 2017, Rotter was a writer/producer on the eleventh season of The X-Files on Fox, having written one episode titled, "Kitten."[9]
In 2024, it was announced that Rotter created The Beast in Me for Netflix, starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys. The series will premiere on 2025.[10][11][12]
