Theodore J. Flicker

Writer and director for TV and film -- via the Hollywood Reporter. He started off as an improv comedian, ran his own theater. His 1967 feature film, "The President's Analyst," was a great satire and one of my favorite comedies. Unfortunately, it was not one of J. Edgar Hover's, and Flicker was blacklisted for a time as a result. After the success of "Barney Miller," which he co-created with Danny Arnold, he move to Santa Fe, wrote novels, and became a sculptor.
