Stephan Cannell

Stephan Cannell is one of the most successful television writers and producers of all time. His television credits include:

21 Jump Street • The A-Team • Baa Baa Black Sheep • Baretta
The Commish • The Duke • Greatest American Hero
Hardcastle & McCormick • Hunter • The Quest • Silk Stalkings
Renegade • Riptide • The Rockford Files • Tenspeed & Brownshoe
Sonny Spoon • Stone • Wise Guys

He is also a bestselling novelist and has two film projects in the works. He was in Houston promoting his new book, Cold Hit. I listened to an interview on one of the local radio programs. He has an amazing story.

One of the challenges of Stephan Cannell is that he has severe dyslexia. He was already a successful writer before he knew what was his learning disability. His daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and this gave him insight into his own condition.

Isn't it amazing what people can overcome!
