Samuel Harris Rolfe (born Samuel Harris Rosenbaum, February 18, 1924 – July 10, 1993) was an American screenwriter best known for creating (with Herb Meadow) the 1950–60s highly rated CBS television series Have Gun – Will Travel, as well as his work on the 1960s NBC television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Eleventh Hour.[1]

A prolific radio, film and television writer for over 30 years, Rolfe described the craft as requiring "Stubbornness, masochism and perhaps some inherited insensitivity to pain. Writing is the most exasperating, most tormenting, loneliest occupation in the world".[2]
