(starring John Candy) and Director, Paternity (starring Burt Reynolds). A
multiple award winner, Mr. Steinberg has received Emmy's, Grammy's and Leos in
recognition of his many talents.
Frank van Keeken has written for both Canadian and American television for
several years. In Canada, he wrote for The Kids In The Hall and the sitcoms
Material World and Maniac Mansion. In the U.S. his credits include writing for
the award-winning sitcom Mad About You and producing the new animated series
Sammy, which premieres in January, 2000 on NBC.
