Summary: He was born on the first day of the Great Depression, did competitive ski racing in Europe, and went to spy school to became a special agent. But a passion for writing led <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0435625/">Eric Kaldor</a> to Hollywood, and he has many stories to tell about his journey! <br> <br> <br> After spending some time as a sports producer, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0435625/">Eric Kaldor</a> landed his first TV writing gig. He then went on to write for some of the most well known hits of the 1970s: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068067/">Emergency</a>,<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069599/">Kojak</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071042/">The Rockford Files</a>, and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077031/">The Incredible Hulk</a>. <br> <br> You'll love hearing about how TV writing worked in the 1970s, and how much it differs from the group writing of today. Also, Eric is full of amusing anecdotes about his path to and through Hollywood. <br> <br> After 1980, Eric left TV writing to raise his family and build a successful family business with his wife. He started acting, and has had parts in films, like 2006's Hollywoodland, and many recent shows, including ER and House. <br> <br> Eric never stopped writing … he is currently working on a novel, and publishing it a chapter at a time on his website at <a href="http://erickaldor.com/">erickaldor.com</a>. <br> <br> Follow Eric on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/EricKaldor">@EricKaldor</a> <br> <br> Hosted by Gray Jones, the TV Writer Podcast is devoted to interviews with working TV writers.
