Lee Aronsohn has been making memorable television for over thirty years.
Beginning in 1978 as a writer on THE LOVE BOAT – for which he created the character of the Captain’s bastard daughter, Vicki – he went on to contribute to such 80’s classics as CHARLES IN CHARGE and WHO’S THE BOSS.
In the 90’s, as writer and producer, Lee helped shape some of the decade’s most popular sitcoms such as MURPHY BROWN, GRACE UNDER FIRE and CYBILL. In 2003 he co-created TWO AND A HALF MEN, which quickly became TV’s number one comedy and the anchor of CBS’s Monday night line-up.
In addition to writing and executive producing TWO AND A HALF MEN for 9 seasons (as well as directing several episodes), from 2007 to 2011 also served as a writer and executive producer of THE BIG BANG THEORY, another CBS hit.
Currently exhausted, Lee lives in Sherman Oaks, California.
Aronsohn is visiting New Zealand courtesy of Film New Zealand as the winner of a Film New Zealand 2014 competition. The NZFC is supporting this visit through working with Aronsohn’s fellow LA-based colleague, New Zealand actor/producer, Fleur Saville to provide Aronsohn with strong exposure to filmmaking talent and opportunities within New Zealand.
