Dick
Wolf
as Creator/Executive Producer
Dick Wolf, one of television’s most respected drama series creator/producers, is the architect of one of the most successful brands in the history of television – "Law & Order." Wolf serves as creator and executive producer of the three "Law & Order" drama series from Wolf Films and NBC Universal Television Studio: "Law & Order," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

Wolf’s "Law & Order" series continues to rewrite the annals of television history. "Law & Order," now in its 17th season on NBC, is the longest-running current drama series on television. It once received 11 consecutive Outstanding Drama Series Emmy Award nominations – the record for most consecutive series Emmy nominations in the history of television (tied with “Cheers” and “M*A*S*H”) – and won the coveted Emmy in that category in 1997. "Law & Order" is the longest-running crime series and the second longest running drama series in the history of television, second only to "Gunsmoke." "Law & Order’s" other accolades include the Peabody Award, multiple Emmys, the Crystal Apple Award from the New York City’s Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting, the Writers Guild Award for Television, and numerous other high-ranking tributes.

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” in its eighth year on NBC, has been one of the network’s top performers and routinely wins its Tuesday-night time period. Mariska Hargitay (who plays Detective Olivia Benson) has received two Emmy nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and Amanda Plummer won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2005. Hargitay won a Golden Globe Award in January 2005 for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series.

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent," entering its sixth season, stars Vincent D’Onofrio ("Full Metal Jacket" and "The Cell"), Kathryn Erbe, Chris Noth ("Sex and the City"), Nona Gaye ("Crash"), Julianne Nicholson ("Conviction", "Ally McBeal"). The series takes viewers into the minds of its criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve the crimes.

The "Law & Order" brand also includes "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" and the highly rated "Exiled: A Law & Order Movie" (one of the top-rated movies for the 1997-98 season) in which Noth reprised his role as Detective Mike Logan. In addition, the multi-media brand includes DVDs and video games, as well as the series "Crime & Punishment" -- the “real-life” "Law & Order" which chronicled cases prosecuted by the San Diego District Attorney’s office and aired for three summers on NBC -- as well as Wolf’s and photographer Jessica Burstein’s "Law & Order: Crime Scenes" (Barnes & Noble publishing), a stunning, rivet-bound hardcover presenting more than 100 black-and-white crime scene photographs from its most popular episodes.

Wolf has been a creative force in television for more than 25 years, with an illustrious career as a top advertising executive and continuing as one of television’s most prolific producer-writers with such series as "Conviction," "L.A. Dragnet," "Hill Street Blues," " Miami Vice," "New York Undercover," "Arrest & Trial," "South Beach," "Feds" and "Players." Among his feature-film credits are the screenplay for the hit Paramount movie "School Ties," and he was writer and executive producer of "Masquerade" and writer and producer of "No Man’s Land."

Wolf’s company also produced "Twin Towers," the 2003 Academy Award-winning Short Documentary about two brothers -- one a policeman and the other a fireman, who lost their lives in the line of duty on September 11. Oscar and Emmy-winning director Bill Guttentag and Robert Port directed the film, which was also screened at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in January 2003 and was released in October 2004 on DVD.

Among Wolf’s personal honors are such awards as: the prestigious Award of Excellence from the Banff Television Festival; the 2002 Creative Achievement Award from NATPE; the Anti-Defamation League’s Distinguished Entertainment Industry Award; the Leadership and Inspiration Award from the Entertainment Industries Council; the Governor’s Award by the New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences; the 1997 Achievement Award from the Caucus for Producers, Writers and Directors; the 1998 Television Showman of the Year Award from the Publicists Guild of America and the 2002 Tribute from the Museum of Television and Radio.

Wolf is also an Honorary Consul of Monaco and is actively involved in the principality’s prestigious
annual television festival, and is its primary liaison with the entertainment community.
