Executive Producers

Michael Frost Beckner (Executive Producer & Writer)

Launched his writing career in the early 1990's with three record-making “spec” script sales. Today, with dozens of screenplays and rewrites for major studios and ten pilots for commercial and cable networks, Beckner has—from his first film, SNIPER that introduced the phrase “One shot, one kill” to the public vernacular—built a reputation as a film and television writer of realistic, character-based military and espionage dramas. Beckner’s most recent big-screen success came with the Universal Pictures, Tony Scott directed, SPY GAME (2001) starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. The release of that film coincided with the debut Beckner's CBS series, THE AGENCY (Creator, Executive Producer, Writer; 2001-2003) that holds the distinction of being the only dramatic series ever allowed to film at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Recent credits include: Showtime's pilot THE FIXER, CSI (Las Vegas) and the SPY GAME prequel MUIR'S GAMBIT.
