Matt Olmstead

Matt Olmstead is an American writer and producer for television shows.

Olmstead eventually worked with an agent, who set him up with Steven Bochco.

After 10 minutes of talking, Bochco offered him the opportunity to write an episode for the show NYPD Blue.

The series was created by Milch and Bochco along with William M. Finkelstein and ex-police officer Bill Clark.

The show detailed the lives of a single precinct of police patrol officers.

Though Olmstead was initially the "writer/showrunner" for Law & Order: Organized Crime, he stepped down in October 2020.
