JACK OLESKER

24/7 Production, LLC’s President and CEO Jack Olesker has a career that spans over four decades and includes writing, directing and producing over 1,200 episodes of television, eighteen films and seven published novels. Following his service as a United States Air Force search-and-recuse medic, his writing career was launched in 1976, when G. P. Putnam’s Sons published his first novel, NO PLACE LIKE HOME. MGM purchased the novel’s film rights and Olesker subsequently moved to Los Angeles.

In 1982 he began his career in television, writing for the series THE LITTLES for DIC Entertainment.  This led to a staff writing position at DIC in which he created, wrote and story-edited such popular television series as THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HE-MAN, CARE BEARS, M.A.S.K., THE SUPER MARIO BROS. SUPER SHOW, HEATHCLIFF AND THE CATILLAC CATS, HELLO KITTY’S FAIRYTAIL THEATER and many others.  Olesker created the series bible and wrote thirty-seven of the sixty-five episodes of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HE-MAN. In 1990 he created the original development work and series bible for SABAN Entertainment’s internationally successful MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS.

Today Jack Olesker shows no signs of letting up, actively continuing his work in motion pictures and television, developing and creating mass market  entertainment content in the mystery, suspense, drama and comedy genres, with an occasional visit back in children’s entertainment. His newspaper column, A Writer’s Life…During the Golden Age of Television Animation, appears weekly in the New Buffalo Times.
