David Milch
In the early 1980s, David Milch taught English literature at Yale. But then he submitted a script to the groundbreaking TV series Hill Street Blues. He went on to create NYPD Blue and HBO’s Deadwood. His new series, John from Cincinnati, premiered last week on HBO. Milch says he’s got a lot in common with the rough-around-the-edges characters on his shows.
