Lee Goldberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lee Goldberg is a novelist and television writer, most known for his work on the television shows Diagnosis Murder, A Nero Wolfe Mystery and Martial Law. His experience extends all the way from freelance writing to executive producing, his main background being in murder mysteries and whodunits. More recently, Goldberg has worked on several novel adaptations of shows he has been involved in, specifically Diagnosis Murder and Monk. Goldberg wrote the Monk novels entitled Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse and Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii. Mr. Monk and the Blue Flu is expected to be released in early 2007.

Goldberg has also written a number of nonfiction books geared towards fellow television writers, Successful Television Writing (co-written with William Rabkin) being the most notable. In Comics Scene#46, he discussed how he was involved with two attempts to make a film or TV version of Blade the vampire hunter, one with New World that went so far as a dinner meeting with Richard Roundtree to discuss his playing Blade (they both suffered food poisoning). The project, one of many pursued by New World (including Elektra, Warriors Three, and Hero For Hire), went nowhere due to his associate Tony Randel getting to direct Hellbound:Hellraiser II and leaving New World to continue directing. The script included Blade as sort of a dhampir (Goldberg admits the influence of Hannibal King) who would live off of blood stolen from the Red Cross or from wild beasts. Blade would find a town in the Rust Belt that had made a pact with a group of vampires: the infirm would be the livestock for the vampires, everyone else left alone. Blade plays the two humans and vampires against each other in a Red Harvest/Yojimbo style fashion. Later, when the syndicated show She-Wolf of London was on the air, a companion tv series starring Blade as a travelling vampire hunter was developed as a concept. It also never got off the ground.

Goldberg also wrote the .357 Vigilante novels as Ian Ludlow.
