Adam Barr
In the early nineties he teamed up with best friend Peter Ocko, with whom he wrote 12 episodes of Parker Lewis Can't Lose. Later in the decade the writing duo scripted ten episodes of Weird Science, the series spun off the 1985 sci-fi comedy film of the same name.

Barr also guest-starred once in the show: he played the role of Guy in 'Last Of The Really Odd Lovers', episode 23 of season three.
Barr also wrote and directed a short film, Mackenheim, which was produced by Billy Pollina in 2002.
Most recently, he was involved in the writing of a screenplay for the American adaptation of the Icelandic comedy series Næturvaktin ("The Night Shift").
He now lives in California with wife and daughter. He graduated from Harvard College.
