Ken Finkleman

Ken Finkleman (born 1946) is a Canadian television and film writer, producer, director, actor, and novelist.

He began his career doing radio and TV work at the CBC, teaming up with Rick Moranis, then a Toronto DJ.

Both pilots starred Finkleman and Moranis in a series of irreverent sketches including an early mockumentary sketch featuring Moranis as a Canadian movie producer and another featuring the dubbed in voiced overs of Nazi war criminals as they appear to be discussing their Hollywood agents and the money one can earn being interviewed on major documentary series like The World At War.

His television productions are seen, in part, as a reaction to his experiences in the mainstream Hollywood studio system.

Finkleman and his former wife Marion L. Cohen, a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice, have two children.
