I assume you mean professionally? I never even thought of writing a book or memoir until 2001. But before that, as soon as I moved to Los Angeles, I began writing treatments (long storylines, much more fleshed out than outlines). My wife was an assistant director on a sitcom called “Silver Spoons.” I’d seen enough episodes to understand the set-up ...
Poor. I grew up in Belfield, North Dakota, with my Ukrainian grandmother, who barely spoke English. My mother, a single mom at the time, was a high school English teacher, and the only job she could get was across the state, In Grand Forks. I saw her at Christmas, Easter, and during the summer. But she worked as a waitress during those summers to k...
Again, we were very poor. My father and mother divorced when I was two years old. Dad went off to California with me and his second wife, while my sister, Bonnie, stayed with my mother. Bonnie was fifteen months older than me. But one year later, they switched kids. My guess is that Dad’s new wife got tired of little “Brucie” real fast and would ra...
For me, not “what” but “who.” In college: Dr. Arthur Hough, one of my Radio/TV professors at San Francisco State, taught me that an excuse isn’t worth a damn. Acting: Theater Director and dear friend, the late Dan Caldwell. Dan was my first drama teacher after college and Artistic Director for the very prestigious Marin Shakespeare Festival. He rea...
… and only release. “Matter of Conscience” It’s a memoir. A biography centered around my prison experience.
“Matter of Conscience” is my only child I only hope that as I continue to raise it, I won’t spoil it.
Again, not “What,” but “Who.” My daughter, Erin, when she was nine years old. She walked into my office one night while I was working. She had to write a one-page English paper about someone in her life “who did something dangerous,” and did I know anyone? Like a school kid who knew the answer, I raised my arm, begging to be called upon. I then gav...
Gardening, cooking, and since I’m a member of the Writers Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild/AFTRA – ergo, a voting member for theEMMYS, SAG/AFTRA, and WGAawards, I do have to watch a lot of movies/TV series in order to submit my nominations truthfully. Yes, it’s an honor system thing, but I want to be fair. There’s so much great writing and gre...
My wife, Wendy, and I have a nice spatial office. She has her desk and computer. I have mine. It’s a nicely lit room with a window that opens up to our backyard.
“Matter of Conscience” is a memoir/biographical account of my experience about going to prison for being against the Vietnam War, which includes my past leading up to the decision I made. But a different name/title? Let’s see… “I Thought Growing Old Was Supposed To Take Longer.” Or: Bruce Neckels: Could I Have a Do-over, Please?
