Ronald D. Moore

Deeply rooted in the sci-fi genre, Ronald D. Moore got his start in the entertainment business on the writing staff of Star Trek: The Next Generation. During his tenure there, he wrote or co-wrote 27 episodes, including the two-hour series finale All Good Things, for which he won a Hugo Award in 1994. That same year, Moore was honored with an Emmy Award nomination and was eventually promoted to producer.

In 1994, Moore joined the writing staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as supervising producer and was elevated to co-executive producer the following year. Moore spent five seasons on the series until the end of its successful run in 1999.

Moore also served briefly as Executive Consultant on USA Cable’s series Good vs. Evil before joining the staff of Roswell as executive producer. After two seasons in that post, he took over the reins as showrunner from creator Jason Katims in its final year.

In the fall of 2002, Moore was named show-runner and executive producer of HBO’s critically-acclaimed one-hour drama Carnivale.

In 2003, Moore created the re-imagined series, Battlestar Galactica and served as Showrunner/Executive Producer of the series which ran for four seasons. Battlestar was honored with a prestigious Peabody Award and twice as an official selection of the AFI (American Film Institute) top television programs for 2005 and 2006. In 2006, Ron was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Writing in a Dramatic Series, and in 2008, he won an Emmy for the Battlestar Galactica webisodes.

In 2008, Moore co-wrote the pilot to the spin-off series Caprica, a drama set fifty-eight years before the events of Battlestar Galactica, and currently serves as executive producer for the series.

Moore is a native of Chowchilla, California and attended Cornell University, where he studied political science. He lives in California with his wife, Terry, and three children, Robin, Roxy and Jonathan.
