John Herzfeld
This screenwriter and director of both TV and films got his start as an actor (and still appears before the camera from time to time). After graduating from college, Herzfeld moved to Los Angeles and began acting, debuting as a junkie in the TV-movie "Lieutenant Schuster's Wife" (ABC, 1972). He went on to play small roles in "Some Kind of Miracle" (CBS, 1979), "A Rumor of War" (CBS, 1980), "Victims" (NBC, 1982) and "Shattered Spirits" (ABC, 1986). He also played Paul Michael Glaser's brother on "Starsky and Hutch" (ABC, 1975-1979) and turned up on "Kojak" and "Baretta."
