Orci first began his career in television writing for the popular series Hercules, becoming the Co-Executive Producer and Co-Head writer at the age of 24. He also went on to be the Co-Executive producer of Xena: Warrior Princess and then wrote and executive produced the hit J.J. Abrams series Alias. The partnership with J.J.
