Gerald Wilson (writer)

Gerald Wilson is a Canadian writer, best known for his screenplays. He had a notable collaborative relationship with Michael Winner. He wrote teleplays for Scandinavian television.[1]

He was born in Pittsburgh and raised in Canada. He moved to England in 1955 and began writing for television.[2]

According to one writer "the typically Wilsonian hero is an ageing professional with nothing more to learn about his craft" and "there is a strong political dimension in Wilson's work."[3]

Though retired he still has a great affection for his life's work. He lives with his wife Rebecca outside Westport in the west of Ireland.
