Fred Bronson

Fred Bronson (born 10 January 1949; age 75) is a script writer. He also used John Culver as a pseudonym.

He co-wrote two episodes for Star Trek: The Next Generation with writing partner Susan Sackett; "Ménage à Troi" and the story for "The Game".

In 1974, Bronson also wrote the animated Star Trek episode "The Counter-Clock Incident" using his pseudonym, John Culver. At the time, Bronson was the NBC publicist assigned to the series. A year earlier, he had been the publicist on Gene Roddenberry's The Questor Tapes. Bronson had been told that as an NBC employee he was allowed to write for NBC series, but when he asked permission to write an episode of TAS was told it was a conflict of interest. Thus, he created his pseudonym, named for Culver City, California, where he grew up.

Bronson introduced Susan Sackett to Roddenberry – and in 1974, she was hired as his personal executive assistant.

Bronson was also one of the rec deck fan extras in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The 2009 DVD release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture features a reunion of fan extras, including Fred Bronson, chatting on the same soundstage used for the rec deck scene. [1]
