Early work Behr's first writing job was on the dramatic series
Bret Maverick. He remained good friends with
Michael Piller and wrote the season 4 episode "
Qpid" as a freelance writer. Piller persuaded him to join the new series
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a supervising producer. Behr wrote or co-wrote some of the most important episodes in the
Dominion arc, including "
The Jem'Hadar", "
The Search", "
The Way of the Warrior", "
Broken Link", "
Apocalypse Rising", "
In Purgatory's Shadow", "
By Inferno's Light", "
Call to Arms", "
Sacrifice of Angels", "
Tears of the Prophets" and the final episode, "
What You Leave Behind".
Developing the Ferengi Behr also had a significant role in the development of the
Ferengi alien race during his work on
Deep Space Nine.
Post-Star Trek Behr left
Star Trek following the completion of
Deep Space Nines seventh season in 1999. He again worked with
René Echevarria on season two of
Dark Angel (2000) as a
consulting producer. Behr served as writer and executive producer on the short lived series
Bob Patterson (2001), which was created by and starred
Jason Alexander. He returned to Paramount for the revival of
The Twilight Zone (2002) as writer and executive producer. It aired on
UPN directly after
Star Trek: Enterprise, and ran for a single season of 42 episodes. Behr described the fast production turnaround as insane but, despite the difficulty he found the camaraderie and the dedication in the writer's room rewarding, and said that almost all of the writers would have been willing to do it again for another season if they had been given the chance. He thought
UPN did not really want the show, and that it was not a good fit for the network. In 2017 Behr produced the feature film
Lucky starring
Harry Dean Stanton. After his disappointment at the cancellation of
The 4400, people were surprised that Behr chose to join the struggling show. He saw it as an opportunity, as they would be more open and willing to do things differently than if it had been a more successful show. Lead actor
Dennis Hopper died in May 2010 and the series was not renewed for a third season.
Outlander From 2014 to 2016, Behr served as writer and co-executive producer on
Outlander, alongside fellow
Deep Space Nine contributor
Ronald D. Moore. ==References==
