Kill Your Ego with Michael Forman (Homicide: Life on the Streets, NewsRadio)
One of the hardest lessons you can learn is that sometimes, the number one thing people are looking for is a person who's willing to do the job no one else will do, and do it with a smile on their face. As as television executive Michael Forman knows, it's that level of ego sublimation that's the key to long-term survival in show business.
Michael Forman has been a Senior-level development executive and Executive producer for two decades. As a studio exec, he helped establish the television departments of Brillstein-Grey and Virgin Produced. As a Broadcast Network executive, he worked at both NBC and UPN; In his role as an Executive producer, he led Vin DiBona Productions, Big Cattle Productions, Davis Entertainment, and Virgin Produced. During his career, he aided in developing and producing some of television’s very successful shows, including NewsRadio, Just Shoot Me, The King of Queens, Blue Collar TV, Profiler, and Homicide: Life on the Street. As the Senior Vice President of Programming for UPN, he further mastered his understanding and skills of running a network. Michael achieved President rank at several companies and ultimately formed his first company, Big Cattle Productions, with Partner Eric McCormack (Will & Grace). Big Cattle yielded the Jane Lynch series, LOVESPRING. He currently runs his second company, 4Mankind television. With many projects in various stages of development, the bulk of his focus is on securing I.P.
