WHO IS RON OSBORN?
A writer/producer with partner Jeff Reno, Ron started out in half-hour sitcoms then went on to hour-long comedy for three seasons of "Moonlighting", followed by other hour-long shows such as "Cupid", "The West Wing", and the comedy-action series "She Spies".
He has written pilots for ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and the WB, as well as for cable networks Showtime, USA, FX, MTV, ABC Family, Lifetime and Disney, where he and his partner have sold an animated series idea currently in development.
He has done feature rewrites for Universal, Columbia, Sony, New Regency, and such producers and directors as Steve Tisch Wendy Finerman, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Richard Donner, and George Lucas, as well as writing feature originals such as "Meet Joe Black"
He and his partner currently have an animated series in development at Disney and have sold a pilot for a European hour-long series; his spec solo feature "Echo", a supernatural thriller, is currently making the rounds. His favorite job so far was as co-creator/developer/exec producer/writer on 70 episodes of the animated series "Duckman," starring Jason Alexander. He and his partner have been nominated for (the IMDB says 8 but Ron thinks) 7 Emmys, 2 Writers Guild Awards, 3 Cable Ace Awards, and a Humanitas. "Duckman" won best-animated series at the Banff International Film Fest, and Ron was recently honored with the Golden Honu Screenwriting Award at the Big Island Film Festival. Ron has just published his first novel on Amazon.com, a comedic faux religious thriller, entitled "The Lost Ark of the Sacred Movement".
Ron has taught advanced screenwriting at Art Center/College of Design in Pasadena, CA, since 1985. He blames his inability to create lasting intimate friendships on the childhood trauma of seeing the dog die at the end of “Old Yeller”.
