Howard Gordon

Howard Gordon (born March 31, 1961) is an American television writer and producer.

He is well known for his work on the Fox action series 24 alongside the Showtime thriller Homeland, which he co-developed with Alex Gansa and Gideon Raff and the FX political drama Tyrant, which he co-developed with Craig Wright. He also produced the critically acclaimed but short lived NBC science fiction thriller Awake.

Life and career

Gordon was born in Queens, New York City and graduated from Roslyn High School. He grew up in a Jewish family. After graduating from Princeton in 1984, Gordon came to Los Angeles with fellow filmmaker Alex Gansa to pursue a career in writing for television. Both broke into the industry with single episodes of ABC's Spenser: For Hire. Their Spenser work turned industry heads, and the pair joined the Emmy-nominated series Beauty and the Beast as staff writers, and were later named producers.

In 1990, the Gansa-Gordon team was signed to a two-year deal with Witt-Thomas Productions, during which they produced several pilots. One was an ABC project called Country Estates, which caught the attention of famed producer Chris Carter.

Famous quotes by Howard Gordon:

"We feel lucky to be working with so many great actors. Each of these newcomers, as well as the previously announced cast additions, will help deliver the thrill ride '24' fans have come to expect."
"Sometimes bureaucracies are incompetent, just by virtue of the fact that they're bureaucracies. And, sometimes, Jack has to do things outside the law."
"We had kind of painted ourselves into a corner."
"I can tell you that this year, we've actually decided to go smaller with the story line as compared to last season. We'll see a collision between Jack's former self and his current self. And he'll be at the center of the action as opposed to on the outside looking in as he has the past few seasons."
"Part of what gives the show its energy is we paint ourselves into corners and blast our way out."
"Then the idea of this fake death came out very late in the game and we rewrote it."
"I wish that were the case. It's not true. But I think on some unconscious level, maybe we know more than we think we know."
"I'm not kidding you when I tell you we don't know what's going to happen next episode. I really mean it."
"I mean, we know in general we'll avert a terrorist threat or conclude the conventional story, but we begin the year sort of pretending we have the first four to six (episodes). But even as we're writing those, they change. And I think one of the reasons the show has the quality it does . . . is we're so critical and so we revise ourselves. We revise it again. And in that process things just change too quickly to plan ahead too much."
"At this point, having done it for as long as we've done it, there's a certain amount of faith you have in the process that we're going to do it."
"Traditionally, people have been adapting novels and short stories forever. Now, they're doing it simultaneously, with an eye towards writing the movie before the novel has even come out or been finished. It's a function of this hyper-accelerated society we live in, where everyone is trying to short circuit the process."
"I've always wanted to write a novel. It's overwhelming and daunting, and it's one of those things that every writer fantasizes about doing."
"I'm a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy."
"I'm one of three brothers."
"Where I came from, no one was a writer."
