EspañolDAVID MILCH
'David S. Milch' (March 23, 1945, Buffalo, New York) is an American television writer and producer.
He was graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude from Yale and won the Tinker Prize in English. He earned an MFA from the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa.
To avoid the draft during the Vietnam War, Milch enrolled in Yale Law School, but was expelled for shooting out a police car siren with a shotgun. Milch then worked as a writing teacher and lecturer in English literature at Yale. During his teaching career, he assisted Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks in the writing of several college textbooks on literature. Milch's poetry and fiction have been published in ''The Atlantic Monthly'' and the ''Southern Review''.
In 1982, Milch wrote a script for ''Hill Street Blues''. This began his career in television. He worked five seasons on ''Hill Street Blues'' as executive story editor and then as executive producer. Milch earned two more Writers Guild Awards, a second Humanitas prize, and another Emmy while working on that show.
Milch created ''NYPD Blue'' with Steven Bochco and served as Executive Producer of that series for seven seasons. After ''NYPD Blue'', Milch created a CBS series called ''Big Apple''.
From 2002-2006, Milch produced ''Deadwood'', a dramatic series for HBO. Milch served as creator, writer, and executive producer. The series ended in 2006, following its third season. There were plans for two feature length movies to conclude the series but there is still no definitive confirmation that these movies will get made.
Milch began production in 2006 on ''John from Cincinnati'', another dramatic series for HBO. The series was canceled after its first season. Initial ratings had been lower than expected but increased steadily. Ratings for the final episode were more than 3 million.[1]
Milch is an owner of Thoroughbred racehorses. Notably, as a co-owner with Mark and Jack Silverman, he won the 1992 Breeders' Cup Juvenile with the colt Gilded Time. Milch owned outright Val Royal who captured the 2001 Breeders' Cup Mile.
