I have produced, written and/or directed Motion Pictures with the involvement of such stars as Paul Newman, George Clooney, Kurt Russell, Anthony Hopkins, Burt Lancaster, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, and Ron Howard. My feature documentary with Paul Newman on auto-racing entitled "Circuit" is considered by magazines, Car and Driver and Motortrend, to be “the best movie on racing ever made.” My Motion Picture Directorial Debut was with the cult comedy classic and horror spoof "Return To Horror High" for New World Pictures, which after its successful theatrical run remains one of that studio’s best video sellers.
My work in Television has also included producing ten different Series and writing nine Series Pilots. I started the original Mike Hammer Series starring Stacy Keach, and then turned Scarecrow & Mrs. King, starring Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner, into a long running hit, and rescued the series MacGyver, starring Richard Dean Anderson, from cancellation at the end of its first season and launched it on the path to becoming a cultural phenomenon. Limited-run series included Leg Work, starring Margaret Colin and Academy Award Winner Frances McDormand; A Fine Romance, shot in Europe as the first-ever international co-production; and Pointman, starring Jack Scalia. I was also the Co-Executive Producer/Co-Showrunner of the hit series Freddy’s Nightmares; Poltergeist, The Legacy; The Outer Limits; and The Sentinel. He was Director/Co-Writer/Executive Producer of the History Channel Special Rogue Waves.
