From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Hampton Fancher (born July 18, 1938 in Los Angeles, California, USA) was an actor who transitioned into being a producer and screenwriter in the late 1970's.

Career

After convincing Philip K. Dick to option his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Fancher wrote a screenplay and got the support of producer Michael Deeley. This made Fancher the executive producer which lead to disagreements with the director Ridley Scott and David Peoples being brought in to continue reworking the script.

Fancher wrote two films afterward, The Mighty Quinn (1989) starring Denzel Washington and The Minus Man (1999), which he also directed starring Owen Wilson.
