No.

It is good for 24 calender months, unless you are employed continuously by a 121 carrier, then it does not expire. Took my ATP ride almost 6 years after the written test.

Even more importantly, he wants to be an ATP and doesn't know where to find this.

"No, Mr. FAA, I swear my written's not expired. Some guy on APC told me so!"

You do not have to be continually employed in order to use an expired ATP to upgrade at a 121 carrier. The FAR's say, verbatim, that you may use an expired written at a 121 carrier. No caveats about when or where you were employed prior to the upgrade.

I think the idea being that 121 employment and training covers the topics on the ATP written anyway.

It's possible that an individual airline might have a different policy, but I'm not sure why they would bother.

Good one man...you should be a comedian
I havent been flying in the us for long,almost all my time did it back on my home land and been studying for my IFR and Comm ticket for the last 5 months, so I did not feel like jumping on the FAR to look for it.
Good night
