Biography
Christopher Scott Fedak, born August 20, 1975, is an American television and film writer, producer, and creator. A graduate of the University of Southern California, Fedak launched his career in TV during the mid-2000s, most notably as co-creator—alongside Josh Schwartz—of NBC's action-comedy series Chuck (2007–2012). He and Schwartz penned the original script for the pilot, with Fedak pitching the initial concept and moulding the show into a blend of spy thriller and humour. Fedak served as co-executive producer throughout the series, co-writing key episodes, including the pilot, and was integral in developing its character dynamics and emotional arcs. Following Chuck, Fedak created and executive-produced several network series. He was a writer and producer on ABC's Forever (2014–2015) and CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016), contributing to shaping those shows' tones and storytelling. In 2018, he co-created Deception for ABC with Greg Berlanti and others, a procedural drama that cast magicians as consultants to law enforcement; Fedak served as both writer and executive producer. In 2019, Fedak teamed with Sam Sklaver to create Prodigal Son, a psychological crime thriller starring Tom Payne and Michael Sheen. As co-creator, executive producer, and writer, Fedak guided the show through multiple seasons, demonstrating his versatility across genres. Transitioning into film, Fedak joined the writing team for Michael Bay's high-octane feature Ambulance (2022), using it as a case study on crafting compelling action in screenplay form.
