“A writer is always writing.” That was a really good piece of advice I got a few years ago. Interestingly enough it didn’t come from another writer. Nor was it offered to me as a writer. It was advice given to me as a producer starting my own production company. I was over at WME, the talent agency, for what is known in the parlance of our business as “a general meeting” and I found myself sitting in Rick Rosen’s office. For those of you who don’t know, Rick Rosen is one of the original founders of Endeavor, the talent agency started in March 1995 by Ari Emmanuel, Rick Rosen, Tom Strickler, and David Greenblatt. Fourteen years later in April 2009 WME merged (some say acquired) the venerable William Morris Agency, started in 1898 by William Morris, a German Jewish immigrant, to become the juggernaut that is today known as WME, run by Co-CEOs Ari Emmanuel and Patrick Whitsell. Rick is the Head of Television at WME. The number of careers he has had a hand in shaping are too many to count. For a little more on Rick, check out this session from NATPE 2011:
