Glenn Gordon Caron

Executive Producer

Glenn Gordon Caron is the creator and executive producer of NBC's hit drama series "Medium."

Caron, a native of Oceanside, New York, graduated from the State University of New York, College of Arts and Sciences at Geneseo. Over the next few years, Caron moved back and forth between New York and Chicago, studying with Del Close and The Second City, while working at a variety of jobs including gas station attendant and theatre usher.

After landing a position at an advertising agency, he was contacted by an independent producer who had been impressed with a script that Caron had written years earlier. The producers arranged for Caron to meet with NBC about the possibility of writing a pilot for the network. Although the pilot did not become a series, the script did not go unnoticed by writer/producer/director James L. Brooks, who invited Caron to join the writing staff of his hit series "Taxi." Caron segued from the Emmy Award-winning program to serve as the story editor on the highly acclaimed, but short-lived series "Good Time Harry" starring Ted Bessel.

Caron made his producing debut after being asked by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Steve Tesich to assist in writing and producing the television adaptation of the award-winning film "Breaking Away." Caron then wrote and produced the first ten episodes of the 1982-1987 hit series "Remington Steele" starring Pierce Brosnan, before leaving the show to form his own company, Picturemaker Productions.

In 1985, Caron created the groundbreaking hit "Moonlighting." The series, which is recognized as launching Bruce Willis' career and resurrecting Cybil Shepard's, broke many of the storytelling conventions associated with hour-long television shows. "Moonlighting," which Caron also wrote and produced, garnered 42 Emmy nominations, nine Golden Globe nominations, six Writers Guild of America nominations and four Directors Guild of America nominations. Caron received the WGA Award for writing the series.

In 1988, Caron made his feature directorial debut with "Clean and Sober" starring Michael Keaton, Kathy Baker, and Morgan Freeman. The film, in addition to appearing on many "10 Best" lists, won its star the Best Actor Award from the National Society of Film Critics.

Caron also helmed the feature "Wilder Napalm," starring Debra Winger and Dennis Quaid; the Warren Beatty/Annette Bening remake of "Love Affair," and the hit romantic comedy "Picture Perfect," starring Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr, which Caron also co-wrote.

Caron returned to television with the off-beat and highly praised "Now and Again," a genre-bending science fiction drama/comedy/romance that won the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films Saturn Award for Best Network Television Series. It remains a favorite in reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel.
