Ed is a former Chicago police officer who is the Co-Creator and Executive Producer of “Third Watch” (WB/NBC). He began his career as a Staff Writer on “Brooklyn South,” after which he was a Story Editor on “Trinity.” He then created “Third Watch” with John Wells and quickly worked his way up to Executive Producer. Ed added "director" to his list of credits, making his directorial debut on the 100th episode of “Third Watch” (which he also wrote and executive produced). The episode was shot like a play-for-television, featuring one long shot, with no cuts, within each act. It was the highest rated episode in the first five years of the show. Ed is now the Executive Producer and Showrunner on “Criminal Minds” for Touchstone/Paramount at CBS. He is under a multi-year overall deal with ABC Studios.

Polanski Apologists Don’t Speak for All of Us in Hollywood
by Ed BerneroEnough.
Anyone who would sign a petition demanding release of a fugitive child rapist is actively hurting a business I love and DOES NOT speak for all of the entertainment industry. America needs to know that by viewing/buying our product, the public is not supporting these views.
Our industry is made up mostly of hard working, decent people who believe in this country and the justice system. I strongly feel that one of the bigger reasons for the decline in film and television is that the public, our customer base, has simply had enough of Hollywood. And I don’t blame them.
I have a question for those supporting Roman Polanski: Is there no line? Is there no line at which you won’t blindly support someone? He’s an artist? So what? Charles Manson was a decent guitar player. Hitler could paint. Roman Polanski is a good director. So-the-hell what? This man drugged and anally raped a thirteen-year-old girl. The transcript of her testimony can be found online. Read it. It should horrify you.
It wasn’t “rape-rape”? What the hell does that even mean, Ms. Goldberg? Are you suggesting that the little girl was at fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? For not more forcefully resisting an adult her mother placed her with? A famous man? (more…)
