Victor Levin

Victor Levin was born in New York, had a traditional upbringing in the suburbs, and attended Amherst College. In the 1980s, Levin worked at advertising agency Young & Rubicam, writing commercials for Jell-O and Dr Pepper before moving to Los Angeles at the urging of a friend. While writing ads, he had been practicing writing screenplays, so once he was west, he wasted no time breaking in to television. His first show was "Baby Talk" (ABC, 1991-92), based on the film "Look Who's Talking" (1989). From there he moved to "Dream On" (HBO, 1990-96), then to "The Larry Sanders Show" (HBO, 1992-98), where he earned his first Emmy® nomination. "Mad About You" (NBC, 1992-99) was the show that Levin credited with really teaching him how a TV series is run. Levin worked on the series from 1994 to '99, eventually working his way up to Executive Producer and earning two more Emmy nominations. His first produced feature film was "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" (2004) starring Kate Bosworth and Josh Duhamel. He re-teamed with his "Mad About You" star Helen Hunt for her feature directorial debut, "Then She Found Me" (2007), which Levin co-wrote and which starred Hunt and Bette Midler. He earned another Emmy nomination as co-executive producer on "Mad Men" (AMC, 2007-2015) in 2012. Levin's directorial debut, "5 to 7" (2014) premiered at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival to favorable reviews. The film was released by IFC Films in 2015.
