Robert Wertheimer (born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a writer, producer, director and executive producer of film and television productions. Wertheimer started working in 1977.
Wertheimer graduated from the
Concordia University in Montreal under the tutelage of Marc Gervais. Deeply influenced by Gervais, Wertheimer gave particular focus to French New Wave Cinema and the impact of Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut
and others is still readily apparent in his work.
After a long career making theatrical feature films (including
RoboCop: The Series; and including his Gemini for Best Series for Due South
), Wertheimer made the choice to write and create his own material.
In 2004, his first television series as co-creator and
Sci-Fi Channel acquired rights to broadcast the show in the United States.[1]
Wertheimer's next creative effort was the television series assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Wertheimer lives in Los Angeles, California.
