Geoffrey Thorne (born January 20, 1970) is an American screenwriter, television producer, novelist and actor.

## Biography

Thorne was born in Washington, D.C. After a successful career as a television actor including portraying police officer Wilson Sweet in the television series In the Heat of the Night from 1988 to 1993, Thorne began writing professionally, winning Second Prize in Simon & Schuster's sixth annual Strange New Worlds anthology with his story "The Soft Room." He went on to publish more stories in several media tie-in anthologies as well as the Star Trek: Titan novel Sword of Damocles.
Other stories he has written include contributions to Flying Pen Press's anthology Space Grunts, MV Media's Steamfunk anthology, and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.
As a screenwriter, Thorne was a writer for Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Ben 10, Ultimate Spider-Man, Leverage, and The Librarians, among others.
In 2014 Lion Forge Entertainment and NBC-Universal tapped Thorne to reboot Knight Rider in comic book form. Thorne is also the co-creator of Phantom Canyon, an audio drama from Pendant Productions.
In 2017 Marvel Entertainment tapped Thorne to be head writer and showrunner of the fifth season of Avengers Assemble, Black Panther's Quest. In 2019, he became co-executive producer of Ghost, a spinoff of the STARZ series Power.
Thorne is also a co-founder and writing partner of GENRE 19, a studio he formed with artist Todd Harris in 2008.

## The Winterman Project

The Winterman Project is a small press established by Thorne in which he produces shorts, comics and ebooks. Thorne describes it as "a place to play, a place where I could write what I want, make what I want without worrying about clients or editorial oversight." In the end of 2017, he launched "Winterman Comics", a line of comics including an anthology series and a series of titles.
