Michael Loceff

Michael Loceff is a television writer and Emmy Award-winning producer, who is most well known for his work on the hit Fox action series "24." He earned his first television credit in 1997, when he began writing for the spy series "La Femme Nikita." Loceff worked on the series alongside Joel Surnow, Robert Cochran, Jon Cassar, Brad Turner, and Peter Lenkov until the run concluded in 2001. However, the group quickly re-teamed as the writing staff for "24"'s first season. Loceff also served as a co-producer, working his way up to co-executive producer by 2004. However, he left the show shortly after the Writers Guild of America strike in 2008. After an impressive writing and producing career, Loceff walked away to become a full-time professor at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California, where he teaches online courses in computer science.
