Writer/Producer Cliff Broadway has worked across the spectrum of the
performing arts including voice-over, stage, film & television
production; and he has written for stage, screen, on-line, and print. A
principal member of Industry Standard Films, Cliff has developed
several new projects for film & TV including a prestige format
pop-culture biography series and a children's new-media series. Cliff
most recently worked on "The Big Question: A Film about Forgiveness"
and also "Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed" (History Channel, air-date
Memorial Day 2007), which received three Prime Time Emmy Award
nominations including Outstanding Nonfiction Special, Outstanding
Writing & Directing.
Over a three-year period that involved traveling the globe, Cliff
co-wrote and produced the award-winning documentary "Ringers: Lord of
the Fans" (Sony Pictures release Nov. 2005). The Interviewer at the
heart of "Ringers," Cliff engages famed actors, rock legends, and
everyday fans with seamless camaraderie. His voice-over work ranges the
spectrum of TV, film, radio, and video games (Sam Gamgee in Universal
Interactive's "Fellowship of the Ring"). His appearance on "The Jamie
Kennedy Experiment" became hugely popular on YouTube and clip shows --
built on an elaborate voice-over prank that he carried to unbelievable
extremes.
A pioneer blogger, Cliff started in 1999 as a senior writer/editor with
the most popular Tolkien mega-site on the web, TheOneRing.net. Using
the pseudonym "Quickbeam," his work was compiled into two volumes for
the "The People's Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien" series (Cold Spring Press).
Cliff launched his stage career on the Chicago boards in 1988, with
credits including the long-running blockbuster comedy "Party" and a
turn as the beleaguered Darren Stephens in "Bewitched: The Musical,"
among many others. His first critically acclaimed play, "Elevator," was
produced in 1998 by Los Angeles' nascent Copperview Theatre Company.
Cliff hails from Melbourne, Florida, and now resides in the heart of
Hollywood -- and yes, Broadway really is his surname from birth. Now
ain't that a kick in the pants?
