David Mills
One of prime time TV’s most prolific writers, David Mills died March 31 of a brain aneurysm. The 48-year-old Mills died weeks before his latest show, “Treme”, was set to debut. (He was also the co-executive producer.) Mills was a journalist by trade who was drawn to TV after he wrote a script for “Homicide: Life On The Street.” He followed that up with stints as a writer on “The Wire,” “ER,” “NYPD Blue” and “Kingpin”, which he created, to name just a few. He also wrote the blog “Undercover Black Man.” (credit: AP)
