Robert Munic

Robert Munic? Oh, he’s been everywhere, doing pretty much everything you can imagine in TV and film. The guy’s got Emmy and DGA noms under his belt, and if you’ve ever lost a weekend to binging POWERBOOK IV: FORCE or got hooked on The Cleaner with Benjamin Bratt, yeah, that’s him pulling the strings. He cooked up ICE for Direct TV (Ray Winstone doing his thing), and he’s been the name behind BET’s TALES, Fox’s Gang Related, Empire, and Star. Plus, there’s that wild project, Vital Signs, where he teamed up with Dr. Dre—yeah, THE Dr. Dre—and a killer cast including Michael Kenneth Williams and Sam Rockwell. Not exactly lightweights. Honestly, the guy doesn’t sleep. He’s adapting Chef Keith Corbin’s California Soul for Paramount TV, chasing down new stories like Damon West and Karl Kani stuff for Lionsgate, and he’s even snagged the rights to Ted Dekker’s new thriller Play Dead. I mean, if you know, you know—Dekker’s got a cult following, so that’s gonna be a ride. Movies? Munic wrote Fighting (Channing Tatum throwing hands), and he’s tackled scripts for MGM’s NASCAR flick and Vision Quest for Warner Bros. Plus, he’s bringing the YA novel Nowhere But Here to the big screen with Voltage Pictures. Back in the day, he wrote, directed, and produced Showtime’s They Call Me Sirr—Michael Clarke Duncan crushed it—scoring Emmy and DGA nominations, and he also did In a Class of His Own. Oh, and that Emmy nom for writing? Yeah, he snagged it. Now he and his wife, Ingrid Rogers, run Pull The Pin Productions, cranking out even more content. Nonstop hustle.
