Gary Skeen Hall has been a writer and producer in television for more than 20 years, writing and producing for “21 Jump Street,” “The A-Team” and Pensacola: Wings of Gold,” to name only a few. He also wrote and produced the HBO feature, “Stringer.” The son of a U.S. Naval officer, Hall graduated from UCLA with a degree in motion picture/television. He began his career at 20th Century Fox as an assistant director trainee prior to moving to Stephen J. Cannell Productions and Warner Bros. He returned to 20th Century Fox in 1998 as a Senior Vice President, heading up post production for 20th Century Fox Television. His department was in charge of an average of 30 television series and pilots per year and had an annual operating budget of over $40 million. Among the series he oversaw were, “24,” “The Simpsons,” “Bones,” “Empire” and “Homeland.” Hall is a current member of the Producer’s Guild of America, Writer’s Guild of America and Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Hall also has worked part time as a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department for over 35 years, with multiple commendations for bravery and service. He has worked such assignments as gangs, narcotics and homicide, as well as several special assignments, including the infamous Night Stalker case. Hall currently is assigned to patrol. Police work, a side of life most of us rarely see, has brought realism to his writing and compassion to his life. In 2009, Hall combined his two passions, law enforcement and television, when he and his wife, Cyndi, founded their prison ministry Hollywood Impact Studios. This vocational program teaches the careers of the television industry to inmates inside the Los Angeles County Jail.
