Keith Samples

Biography - In 1991, executive producer Keith Samples founded and became the CEO of Rysher Entertainment, a company that has grown from the relatively humble production and distribution house behind such syndicated television hits as Saved By the Bell and Highlander: The Series to a major Hollywood player, with films such as Big Night and Kingpin (both 1996). Samples made his debut as a screenwriter and director, with the romantic comedy A Smile Like Yours (1997). Keith quit that job in 1997 to concentrate on directing and writing.
