About Ira Steven Behr

Mr. Behr was born in The Bronx, New York. His first brush with success came when he spent six years in search of the elusive Kafiristan Mook, a journey that was written up in numerous medical and psychiatric magazines, as well as in Mr. Behr’s bestselling autobiographical novel,
Look! Behind That Tree
. Mr. Behr then traveled to Los Angeles where he worked as writer-producer on such series as
Fame
,
Once a Hero
,
The Bronx Zoo
, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION®, and STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE®. However, Mr. Behr’s proudest moment in show business came when he was chosen to collaborate with Samuel Beckett on a Broadway musical of the film
Rocky
; a project tragically cut short by Mr. Beckett’s untimely death.

Mr. Behr currently resides in Paris.
