Anecdotes
At the tender age of 17 he wrote a stage play that was picked up on Off-Broadway. Based on that play's success he was gifted a full scholarship to Columbia University in New York City. While there he perfected his craft and wrote several other stage plays including "The Day The Bronx Died" starring Isaiah Washington.

A four-year stint in the US Marine Corp led to the epic unproduced screenplay "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children", an acronym for USMC. During that time he also wrote "In Too Deep" and "Dead Presidents", the critically-acclaimed feature film.

In short succession he also penned the television series "Laurel Avenue" and the critically-acclaimed "Under One Roof." Eschewing the Hollywood lifestyle, he lives in the Midwest with life partner Kim.

Great show, gone too soon

I remember this show as well. It was about a family, a real family who loved and cared for each other a lot. Although the cast was African-American, the principles could have been any race. It was that good. It's just that it was so much fun to see James Earl Jones as the family patriarch, the relationship between Joe Morgan and Vanessa Bell Calloway, the children, and the other relatives on TV each week...if you could find the show that is. CBS was very creative in killing the show. By changing the time slot each week, CBS went to great lengths to drive the existing audience away and prevented a potential audience from tuning in and becoming fans.

The show was serious, it was funny, so many situations rang true or felt familiar. It made you think about your own family and if you didn't have a family, they became your family. They were a hard working, intact African-American family long on love and discipline. A family who loved each other and their community. But, I guess without a hip-hop soundtrack or a tribal counsel at the end, it was bound to get bumped.

Just a fan! Debbie
