Tim Kring is a television writer and producer. He created the hit sci-fi drama \\u2018Heroes\\u2019, which became a global sensation - running for four seasons and winning him both a BAFTA and an Emmy nomination. Tim got his big break on \\u2018Knight Rider\\u2019 in 1985, and since then he\\u2019s worked on some of TV\\u2019s biggest shows like \\u2018Chicago Hope\\u2019 and the Jason Bourne spin-off show \\u2018Treadstone\\u2019, going on to become series creator for many flagship programmes, such as \\u2018Crossing Jordan\\u2019 and \\u2018Touch\\u2019. In this in-depth interview, Tim candidly reflects on his long and varied career, and tells us what Hollywood is really like from the inside - warts and all; takes us behind-the-scenes on how TV shows are made - from the initial idea, to seeing the results on screen - including the casting, production and politics challenges along the way; and reveals how he wasn\\u2019t prepared for just how profoundly his hit show \\u2018Heroes\\u2019 would change his world view.
