ROB MELTZER, Co-Writer/Director
Rob Meltzer began his career as a child actor, though he wasn’t very good at it. If you ever see the "Kate and Allie" Halloween special from 1988, he’s the trick-or-treating kid who looks right into camera like a deer caught in headlights. It was around this time that young Rob realized that he was better suited to be a director. Since graduating from USC’s School of Cinema-Television, Rob has directed episodes of a live action kids’ adventure series for the internet called "Royal Standard", episodes of Dick Wolf’s TV show "Arrest and Trial", and numerous promos and commercials.

True Hollywood Stories". In 2003, Alex began producing the reality TV show," American Chopper", which follows a dysfunctional family that fights, throws things at each other and builds custom motorcycles. When the show became the highest rated series in the history of the Discovery Channel, Alex was tapped to simultaneously produce the inevitable spin off, "American Hot Rod", which follows a dysfunctional group of mechanics that fight, throw things at each other and build custom cars. The show has quickly become the second highest rated series on the network.
