Sallan has had a unique career in Hollywood, before catching the writing bug and deciding to pen weekly columns from a father's point of view about raising two young boys as a single dad, and later as

the man in a new stepfamily situation.  After earning an MBA from UCLA in Los Angeles, he became a television producer and during the next 25 years he produced over 30 television movies, pilots, and series.

 

        Along the way, he worked with such stars as Ingrid Bergman, Ron Howard, Mickey Rourke, Don Johnson, Ben Affleck, Hal Holbrook, Barbara Hershey, Sissy Spacek, Henry Winkler, Alan Arkin, and Brian Dennehey.  And he wrote articles for Daily Variety and the Producers Caucus Bulletin.   One can Google his name to learn his actual credits.

 

        After a successful and satisfying career in Hollywood, Sallan left show business to attend to family matters:  to look after his elderly parents, and to care for his two young sons, who had been left by his first wife for him to raise.  The problems that he faced in his new life were fully as challenging as those that he had in his television career, and he began writing a column about parenthood from a man's perspective.  He felt that much of what was being published was from the woman's point-of-view, and that the male point-of-view needed to be expressed.

 

         His column is "catching on" and appears now in over 50 papers and Web sites in 18 states.  More than 20 of Bruce's columns have appeared in this space on ChronWatch, and he is becoming a favorite with our readers.    Readers can select from a variety of his columns that have appeared here by going to his Archives site at:  http://www.chronwatch-america.com/authors/421/Bruce-Sallan
