Born in Ney York grew up in San Fernendo Valley, Steven Antin marks his TV series debut behind the scenes with "Young Americans," Steven Antin recently signed a development deal with Columbia TriStar Television to create and executive produce one-hour dramas.

Antin worked consistently as an actor, amassing numerous commercials and guest-staring credits as a teenager in such series as "Silver Spoons" and "21 Jump Street," segueing to feature films including "The Last American Virgin," "The Accused" and "The Goonies." He recurred for several seasons on the hour drama "NYPD Blue," and earned a CableACE nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in HBO's "Vietnam War Stories."

Antin wrote, produced and played the title role in the feature "Inside Monkey Zetterland" (1993), in which he assembled an eclectic ensemble cast including Ricki Lake, Rupert Everett, Sofia Coppola, Sandra Bernhard, Debbie Mazar and Patricia Arquette. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, then played at San Sebastian, Toronto, and Seattle Film Festivals and was distributed internationally. Antin quickly surmised that the writing/producing aspects of the project were personally more rewarding than acting. After being signed by ICM, a string of writing assignments followed for HBO, Working Title, Columbia Pictures and Fox.

He most recently sold a feature pitch to Columbia Pictures, for which he will write the screenplay, about the "boy band phenomena" of pop music titled "The Hit Factory," to be produced by Larry Mark ("As Good as it Gets," "Jerry Maguire").

From executive producer at Radio City Music Hall to president of Mandalay Television and executive producer on every Mandalay series, show business veteran Scott Sanders has built an exceptional career in entertainment.

At Mandalay, Sanders oversees all creative development and production for the company's programs, currently including "Young Americans," "Oh, Baby!" on Lifetime and "Rude Awakening" on Showtime.

A native of St. Petersburg, FL, he majored in advertising at the University of Florida, while breaking into entertainment as a local radio deejay and working briefly at United Artists Records. Upon graduation, he landed a job as talent coordinator at Radio City Music Hall in New York, rocketing to vice president of Entertainment in a year and executive producer in three years. During his 15-year tenure at Radio City, Sanders transformed the theater from a financially troubled New York landmark to one of the country's most successful venues and live entertainment production companies.

He has produced more than 1,000 live shows and events, including engagements for Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Pee Wee Herman, Harry Connick Jr. and Whitney Houston; a Presidential gala for President Clinton; the World Cup closing ceremonies and the Super Bowl XXVII half-time show starring Michael Jackson. In addition, Sanders produced the AIDS Project Los Angeles' Commitment to Life at the Universal Amphitheater.

In association with Columbia TriStar Television, his Mandalay Television has made five pilots, all of which garnered series commitments, including the 1998 series "Cupid" and "Mercy Point." Sanders' partners at Mandalay are Peter Guber, Joe Voci and Paul Schaefer.

The bi-coastal executive divides his time between New York and Los Angeles.

In his role as executive vice president of Mandalay Television, Joe Voci serves as executive producer of "Young Americans" and "Rude Awakenings" on Showtime.

A native of Philadelphia, Voci majored in marketing at Georgetown University and during school started a business that custom-designed and sold restaurant uniforms. Upon graduation, he accepted a job with Proctor & Gamble in Cincinnati. When an opportunity arose to join Proctor & Gamble Productions in Los Angeles, he grabbed it. Stepping onto the bottom rung of the ladder as a production assistant, he soon moved up a notch to unpaid development intern.

Voci got his big break landing a position as associate director of Current Programming at New World Television, thus beginning his executive career. At New World for a year-and-a-half, Voci oversaw production on the critically acclaimed series "The Wonder Years." In 1987, he accepted a position as manager of comedy Development at CBS and rose through the network ranks to vice president of Comedy Programming by the end of his seven-year tenure there.

He launched his producing career at Warner Bros. in 1995 with the comedy series "High Society" starring Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell. The following year, he produced the pilot "Totally Cool," which he brought to Mandalay Television.

Currently, Voci is a partner at Mandalay with Scott Sanders, Peter Guber and Paul Schaefer. During the company's association with Columbia TriStar Television, all five of its pilots were picked up as series, with Voci serving as executive producer, including "Cupid" and "Mercy Point."

Voci lives in Los Angeles.
