Bruno Heller was born and raised in London, England with three siblings, one of which is Zoe Heller. The son of Lukas Heller and Caroline Carter, Heller credits his father's success with likely keeping him from becoming a writer for many years[1]. Before venturing into the writing career, Bruno Heller graduated from The University of Sussex in Brighton, and spent years working various films jobs, eventually becoming a successful boom operator[2]. Heller would make his screenwriting debut on the 1994 Portuguese film PAX, which starred Amanda Plummer. Following the European release of PAX, Heller would move to Los Angeles in 1997. Bruno then began work on two television projects for the USA Network: Touching Evil and The Huntress, before co-creating the HBO series Rome.
In 1993, at the age of 33, Heller married freelance book editor Miranda Phillips Cowley[3]. Together they have two sons and currently reside in Los Angeles.
Heller is probably most associated with the television series Rome, co-produced by HBO and the BBC, which Heller created along with John Milius and William J. MacDonald.
