Christopher Ambrose

With credits on the massively influential procedural show "Law & Order" and the cheerily gruesome forensics drama "Bones," TV writer and producer Christopher Ambrose has a penchant for dark dramas that traffic in the ugly side of human behavior. Ambrose got his start as a writer in 2001, writing several episodes of the critically-acclaimed but low-rated series "Family Law," about one woman's struggle to rebuild both her law firm and her newly single life. He next worked as a story editor and series writer on "Judging Amy," a family drama that examined the lives of three generations of women: grandmother and social worker Maxine (Tyne Daily), newly divorced family court judge Amy (Amy Brenneman), and Amy's teenage daughter, Lauren (Karle Warren). In 2006, he joined the writing and production staff of "Bones," starring Emily Deschanel as socially awkward forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and "Angel" star David Boreanaz as her often-confused FBI partner. Since then, he has written and produced over 40 episodes of the long-running criminal justice series "Law & Order."
