VP Government Affairs DICK WOLF Biography 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. An Emmy Award winning producer, Wolf serves as creator and executive producer of the three Law & Order drama series from Wolf Films and NBC Universal Television -- Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Criminal Intent n which air Fridays at 10:00 p.m., Tuesdays at 10:00 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m., respectively, on NBC. WoWs 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 fim, which was also screened at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Januar 2003 and was released in October 2004 on DVD. Wolf and Guttentag arc also teaming on a documentary about rock legends The Doors. In addition, Wolf and Tom Thayer arc executive producers of the highly-anticipated HBO original movie Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which tells the tragic and powerful story of the subjugation and cultural extermination of the Native American. Slated to air in May 2007, the film stars Anna Paquin, Adam Beach and Aidan Quinn in a compelling adaptation based on the bestseller by Dec Brown. WoWs Law & Order series continue to rewrite the annals oftclevision history. With over 350 episodes under its belt, Law & Order - entering its 17th season on NBC - is the longest-running current drama series on television. It has received eleven consecutive Outstanding Drama Series Emmy 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 poised to become the longest-running police series and the second longest running drama series in the history oftelcvision, second only to Gunsmoke. Law & Order's other accolades include: the highly-coveted Peabody Award; multiple Emmys; the Crystal Apple Award from the New York City's Mayor's omcc of Film, Theater and Broadcasting; the Writer's 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 continually wins its Tuesday night time period, monopolizing audiences by a wide margin in ratings, share and demographics. Star Mariska Hargitay ( who plays Detective Olivia Benson) has received three Emmy nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and Christopher Meloni, who plays Detective Eliott Stabler recently earned his first Emmy nomination in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category).
