Michael Mallory

More recently he has appeared on Mad Men, Vegas, and Mob City, in which he played Abe "Greenie" Greenberg, whose murder propels the plot of the series, Angie Tribeca, and NCIS.

In the late 1980s Mallory made writing his primary pursuit and for a while he served as a writer for Disneyland and other theme park venues.

He scripted the large-format, 3-D attraction film Haunts of the Olde Country, which premiered at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1993 and played there for several years.

Mallory has written more than 180 short stories for adults and children, including a series of mysteries starring an eleven-year-old sleuth named "Scotty," which appeared periodically in the Los Angeles Times.

A second horror thriller, The Book of Diagom was published under the pseudonym Gordon Turcott, but Mallory retained his original byline for The Ambulance.
