Ronald D. Moore <span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>  Ronald Dowl Moore (b. July 5, 1964) is an American screenwriter and producer born in Chowchilla, California. He is best known for his work as an executive producer for Battlestar Galactica and a writer on producer on three Star Trek series. Moore attended Cornell University and graduated with a degree in political science. Following college, he moved to Los Angeles hoping to work as a writer. After struggling and giving serious consideration to joining the US Navy, he was called on to write for Star Trek: The Next Generation and eventually joined the writing staff. He later served as a producer on the series and his work with the TNG team led to an Outstanding Drama Series Emmy nomination. His work with fellow writer, Brannon Braga earned them a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation for the TNG episode "All Good Things...". Moore and Braga also collaborated on the plot of Mission: Impossible II. His other work for Star Trek included the Star Trek films Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact. He also wrote and produced for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. He became well known as a Klingon expert on the series and wrote several episodes that developed Klingon culture in the Star Trek Universe. Moore ended his work in the Star Trek universe after only producing two episodes of Voyager after his working relationship with Braga and the show's other executive producer, Rick Berman, fell apart. He moved on to the teen drama series Roswell for which he wrote several episodes between 2000 and 2002. Following his work on Roswell, Moore worked on the HBO series Carnivàle as writer and producer. His most prominent recent work has been the hit Sci Fi Channel series, Battlestar Galactica based on the less popular 1978 series. The success of the series led to a spinoff series Caprica which Moore will produce with BSG producer David Eick and 24 screenwriter Remi Aubuchon. The spinoff got the goahead from NBC Universal in 2008. Moore also sold the pilot for a new series, Virtuality to Fox. The series will center on a group of ten astronauts on a ten-year journey to a near-by solar system. Moore has reportedly signed a deal with United Artists to write a science fiction film trilogy.
