Ronald D. Moore Life

Ronald Dowl Moore (born July 5, 1964) is an American screenwriter and television producer.

He is best known for his work on Star Trek; on the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series, for which he won a Peabody Award; and on Outlander, based on the novels of Diana Gabaldon.

Early life

Moore was raised in Chowchilla, California. He describes himself as a 'recovering Catholic' and is agnostic. Moore dabbled in writing and drama in high school. He went on to study government (political science) at Cornell University, where he was Literary Secretary of The Kappa Alpha Society, originally on a Navy ROTC scholarship, but left during his senior year in the spring of 1986 after losing interest in his studies. He later completed his degree through Regents College. He served for one month during the summer of his freshman year on the frigate USS W.S. Sims.

Moore spent the next three years drifting between various odd jobs and temporary work. As Moore himself recounted in the book, Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, by the fall of 1986, he was "less than a year into my career as a college dropout... working as a medical records technician (otherwise known as a receptionist) at an animal hospital, all the while telling myself that I was actually a professional writer simply awaiting my inevitable discovery."

Ronald D. Moore Career

Career

During the filming of the episode "Time Squared," he toured Star Trek: The Next Generation sets. While he was there, he passed a script written by one of Gene Roddenberry's employees that helped him find an agent who wrote the script through the proper channels. Michael Piller, a executive producer, read the script and purchased it; it became the third-season episode "The Bonding." Based on the script, he was given the opportunity to write a second script, which eventually led to a job as a script editor. He was promoted to co-producer and then producer for the show's final year (1994).

Moore wrote a number of episodes that established the Klingon race and culture, starting with "Sins of the Father," which introduced the Klingon High Council and the Klingon Chief Minister, and the Klingon Chancellor, and "Reunion," "Redemption, Part 1 and 2," "Ethics," and "Rightful Heir." He is credited with 27 Next Generation episodes, whether he writes or co-authored them.

He co-wrote several episodes with Brannon Braga, sparking them to work together on a winning script for the series finale, "All Good Things" (which received the 1995 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation). In its final year as Outstanding Drama Series, the series was nominated for an Emmy Award, losing to Picket Fences. The pair also wrote the screenplay for the Next Generation crew's first two big screen debuts, Star Trek Generations and First Contact.

Moore joined the production team of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's third season as a producer, with the series's final two years being promoted to a co-executive producer position. He spent time in this film while working with Braga on the script for the second Next Generation motion picture, Star Trek: First Contact, and on a paper of the Mission: Impossible 2 script in which the writer was given a "story by" credit.

During his time on Deep Space Nine, he continued to write episodes that expanded on Klingon history, including "The House of Quark," "Sons of Mogh," "Looking for par "Mach in All the Wrong Places," "You Are Cordially Invited" and "Once More Unto the Breach." In addition, he wrote episodes on controversial topics such as genetic engineering ("Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" "Life Support" co-wrote the episode that featured Star Trek's first same-sex kiss ("Rejoined") and killed off another famous character, Vedek Bareil Antos ("Life Support").

During his time on Deep Space Nine, he made an effort to involve fans; often posting on AOL forums where he would answer fan questions or mention their reservations about the show; an activity he continued with Battlestar Galactica on his weblog and in his podcasts.

Moore moved to the production team of Star Trek: Voyager in 1999, where his writing partner Braga was executive producer during the time of Deep Space Nine's conclusion. Moore, on the other hand, left Voyager only a few weeks later, with "Survival Instinct" and "Border of the Dead" as his only credits. Moore cited difficulties with his early employment with Braga in January 2000, a short stay:

On the commentary tracks for Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact, Moore and Braga can be seen together.

Moore briefly worked as a consulting producer on Good vs Evil before joining Roswell as a co-executive producer and staff writer in the second season of the company in 2000. From the show's conclusion in 2002, Moore and series designer Jason Katims co-produced Roswell. Moore co-wrote with Katims on several of the show's most popular scripts, including "Ask Not" and the series finale "Graduation." He also wrote the episode "Cry Your Name."

During this time, Moore developed a pilot based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern for The WB, but production was suspended due to 'creative differences' between Moore and the network. The network tried changing the story (without Moore's permission) until it didn't look like the original book series. Moore was a pioneer of the books and refused to continue working on the pilot as a result of the changes.

David Eick (whom Moore appeared on Good vs Evil) approached Moore in 2002 about a new four-hour Battlestar Galactica mini-series for Universal. Moore wrote the scripts and reworking the old series, as well as creating a back-story that might be used for a regular weekly series if the mini-series is a hit. Moore was approached by HBO about producing a new television series called Carnivèle, but the company decided not to give Moore a consulting role on the writing staff and instead gave Moore a position as a consultant. He accepted, but Bromell left soon after the film was completed and Moore became the show runner. Eick was the first year of Carnivále, but Eick was in charge of the Galactica mini-series in Canada from day to day. Galactica premiered in 2003 and became the country's highest-rated miniseries and received the highest ratings for any show on Sci-Fi. Moore left Carnivàle to take on a full-time executive producer role on Galactica after the anime's first season and the Sci-Fi Channel ordered a thirteen-episode weekly series of Galactica.

In the United Kingdom and January 2005 in the United States and Canada, the weekly Galactica television series premiered in October 2004. Moore authored the first two episodes of the new series, with the first episode "33" winning the 2005 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, the second time Moore has received during his career. Moore was nominated once more for writing the scripts "Occupation" and "Precipice," which aired together as the third season opener.

Battlestar Galactica was one of the winners of the 65th Annual Peabody Awards in April 2006; Moore was one of the writers and producers cited for "plotlines that are very personal and relatable, while not losing their affinity and enthusiasm for science fiction."

Moore was vocal about the Battlestar Galactica assault, which was one of the major flashpoints leading to the attack. The Writers Guild ordered production to suspend on the Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance webisodes, which had been released as a link between the show's second and third seasons, beginning in August 2006. The tense tenseness surrounding this season will persist into the third season. Battlestar Galactica appeared on iTunes, along with other well-known shows such as Lost and Heroes, as one of the debate about "new media" revenues was heavily downloaded from iTunes and recoups a substantial portion of the production costs relative to direct ratings. It was also one of the most time-shifted shows on television, which Nielsen's ratings system does not include.

Following the completion of the season's mid-season cliffhanger, Moore's directorial debut was supposed to be the first episode of Battlestar Galactica. Though the writers' strike ended production on Battlestar Galactica's fourth season, the show did resurrect and concluded on March 20, 2009. Moore felt it was inconvenient to continue to contact supporters on the Scifi Channel website as the Writers Guild began its strike. As a result, he created rondmoore.com, so he would continue to freely discuss the situation without breaching the terms of his Writer Guild membership. Moore continued his commentary on his personal web site and blog as the attack ended.

Moore and Eick will produce Caprica with 24 scriptwriter Remi Aubuchon and NBC Universal Television Studio, building on Battlestar Galactica's success in April 2006. Moore later admitted in interviews that he and Eick had begun toying with the prospect of a spinoff series as early as the second season. The show was held 58 years before Battlestar Galactica's triumph, and it depicts the emergence of a Cylon race and the emergence of a militant faction that later worshiped the Cylons in the Cylons.

In 2009, the Caprica series premiere was released on DVD and debuted in January 2010. Moore contributed to the pilot made-for-TV film and later gave over to Jane Espenson, the new head writer. According to poor ratings, Syfy abruptly pulled the show mid-run on October 27, 2010 before its first season had ended. In a marathon on January 4, 2011, the remaining five episodes of season one of the twenty-five were burnt off.

Moore and several other Battlestar Galactica veterans made a cameo appearance in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "A Space Oddity" in April 2009. Michael Nankin (who wrote a number of Galactica scripts and spent time on Galactica) and wrote a script based on a Naren Shankar's book "The Next Generation" was directed by Michael Nankin (who also wrote about Daresh (who started their TV writing career on Deep Space Nine and worked as writer/producers on Galactica) and based on a story by Naren Shankar (who started his writing career on Star Trek: The episode was directed by Moore and began his scripte on Galactica script on Galactica scripte based on Galactica) and began his scripts and started his script based on Naren Shankar and started his character). Moore has just one line of dialogue in the episode as he portrays an irate audience member of a science fiction convention, yelling at the (fictional) producer of a beloved cult movie. Several of his Battlestar Galactica colleagues, including Grace Park and Rekha Sharma, appear in non-speaking cameos, while Kate Vernon is a major guest star in the film.

In addition, Moore created Virtuality, a Fox pilot. It appeared on June 26, 2009, but it wasn't picked up. "Tall Ship Productions," Moore's new personal production firm, was the first exhibition to be held under the banner of his new company, "Total Ship Productions."

Moore appeared in the script for the 1982 John Carpenter film The Thing, which was a companion/prequel film. Eric Heisserer, author of the 2010 A Nightmare on Elm Street, had his screenplay rejected late in 2009 and rewritten it. The Thing first appeared in March 2010 and was released in October 2011.

Following the mixed reception of Caprica's first season's first season, the SyFy channel approached Moore in March 2010 to produce another Battlestar Galactica spin-off. The show, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, was supposed to include a young William Adama's experiences in the First Cylon War. The series had been intended as a series of webisodes, but with the cancellation of Caprica, Blood & Chrome was supposed to become a complete television series without any direct involvement from Moore.

Moore began producing and executive produce series of television and cable production projects for broadcast and cable in May 2010. Moore's pitches were already purchased by major television networks in late 2010 for potential conversion to pilot episodes. CBS bought The Wild West for the first time. NBC and Sony co-produced The McCulloch, an action-adventure film about the crew of a US Coast Guard ship as they travel around the world, and NBC and Sony co-produced the second. However, neither of these programs made it to the big screen.

Moore was hired by Lucasfilm's Rick McCallum in 2011 to write scripts for a Star Wars live action TV series, which was being produced for ABC.

Moore produced a series for NBC in 2011 titled "Harry Potter for grown-ups," and it was announced on March 3, 2011 that the new show would be called "the 17th Precinct." Tricia Helfer, Jamie Bamber, and James Callis had signed up for the upcoming series, which would have revolved around cops at the local 17th Precinct in Excelsior, with Moore writing the pilot. On May 13, 2011, it was announced that NBC had decided not to pick up the series.

ABC acquired Moore's pitch for Hangtown, a Western drama film, on August 30, 2011. Ron D. Moore and former Caprica writer Matt Roberts co-created the series. Hangtown is described as "a Western with procedural elements" that takes place in a frontier town in the early 1900s still struggling with the railroad's construction. The potential series revolves around the town's old-fashioned veteran marshal who solves crimes by relying on intuition and experience, but not so much in the case of the young new East Coast crime-solving doctor who relies on emerging forensics and rational investigation. To bring back to major city dime-novel publishers back East, a young female writer who has come from the west to write pulp stories about stereotyped "Wild West" crime. On October 18, 2011, Tall Ship Productions announced on Twitter that Justin Lin had signed on to direct a potential pilot episode of Hangtown in the event that ABC officially orders it. The 17th Precinct Precinct was not chosen for a complete series by NBC. Moore revealed in an interview with Wire.com on September 29, 2012, that his The Wild West revival for CBS and Hangtown had been postponed.

Moore appeared in a Battlestar Galactica-themed sketch of the January 2012 Portlandia episode "One Moore Episode," in which he plays an unknown actor who has never seen Battlestar Galactica. Ronald D. Moore, the show's director, is also named Ronald D. Moore, who is mistaken for the TV creator.

Moore wrote an article on November 11, 2011, claiming that "none of his post-BSG campaigns has really flourished." Moore's writing hasn't appeared on our screens for a few years.

Moore will return to the SyFy Channel as executive producer of a new series Helix on January 16, 2013. Cameron Porsandeh's project was "written on spec." Helix is described as being "about a group of scientists investigating a potential disease outbreak at an Arctic research center that find themselves trying to save the planet from annihilation." The SyFy Channel placed a 13-episode direct-to-series order (i.e., without waiting to film a pilot episode) and it premiered on SyFy on January 10, 2014. Moore's involvement in the scheme was widely credited, but he was only a consultant at the first pitch meetings and not the producer or showrunner, as a result of his involvement in the project was limited. Due to record low viewership, the show was cancelled after two seasons.

Moore had started working on a television version of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander book series in June 2012. Deadline announced on November 6, 2012 that Starz, the premium subscription television network, had canceled an agreement to produce and air the series. The show debuted in August 9, 2014, and was redeemed for its second season, which was based on Dragonfly in Amber, the second book in the eight-book series. Ira Steven Behr, a Deep Space Nine contributor and producer, joined him on the project.

On April 9, 2016, the second season, which consisted of 13 episodes, premiered. From September to December 2017, the 13-episode third season, based on Voyager, aired. The third season of the 13-episode, based on Drums of Autumn, aired from November 2018 to January 2019. From February to May 2020, the fifth season of 12 episodes, which was based on The Fiery Cross, aired. The series has been revived for a sixth season of A Breath of Snow and Ashes.

Apple had been given a straight-to-series order for a space drama called For All Mankind, which was written and published by Moore on December 15, 2017. He signed a Disney cable television contract more recently.
