| Submission declined on 25 August 2024 by OnlyNano (talk). It seems like this person doesn't really pass notability, due to him just being famous for one occasion. This article is also lacking in-text citations on important points.

Craig Gore (born September 19, 1973) is an American screenwriter and TV producer known for Chicago P.D. and S.W.A.T..
Biography
[edit]Gore was born to teenaged parents in South Carolina and was raised by his young single father on a military base in Wilmington, North Carolina. His father was sentenced to prison for Manslaughter when Gore was 13.
After becoming a professional thief as a safe-cracker, carjacker, and robber, Gore was imprisoned at 18. Having become an avid reader in prison, he turned to writing after being released.
Once paroled, Gore attended Columbia College Chicago to study Creative Writing. After graduating in 1999, Gore moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in screenwriting.
Career
[edit]After optioning a number of books in the mid 2000's and adapting them, Gore sold his pilot "Stray Bullets" to Fox TV Studios [1] in 2008. Gore sold four more original pilots before getting staffed on his first show, Defiance in 2011, penning the acclaimed episode A Well Respected Man [1].
He helped launch and produce the successful NBC series Chicago P.D. [2] during its first four seasons.
Gore served as the head writer and Executive Producer on CBS's S.W.A.T. [3] for three seasons.
In 2019, Gore co-wrote the pilot for the police procedural D.E.A. alongside David Ayer and Chris Long under Ayer's Cedar Park Entertainment [4]. It was set to be co-produced by eOne and Fox Entertainment, but in 2020 was left unproduced due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
In 2020, he co-wrote the pilot for Law & Order: Organized Crime.
Internet Controversy
[edit]In 2020, Gore posted a picture on his private Facebook page of himself holding a prop M16. A Facebook friend of Gore's took a screenshot of the picture and posted it to Twitter with a caption threatening to "light up" looters in the wake of the Los Angeles Covid Riots, tagging Gore's boss and Law & Order Executive Producer Dick Wolf in the process.
This led to Craig Gore's immediate firing from his role as a co-executive producer and writer of Law & Order: Organized Crime.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
