Murder
Continued from preceding page
himself after the death of his
son, so does Michael Ryan.
"Without ever consciously
saying to himself, 'He's gone
now and there's nothing I
can do about,' Michael Ryan
does things and makes
choices to bring himself back
to life," after the death of his
son, Mr. Friedman said.
Raised in a kosher home in
Yonkers, N.Y., Mr. Fried-
man "fell into writing
backwards." As a law stu-
dent at New York Univer-
sity in the late 1960s, he cut
classes to make a comic film
called The Applicant with a
friend who was a film major
at NYU. The film, which
won numerous prizes,
offered Mr. Friedman his
first taste of the joys of
writing and filmmaking.
"When the movie was
screened at the film school,
people laughed from the
very first frame," Mr.
Friedman recalled. "And I
was totally hooked. I
thought, 'What could be
better than moving people
this way?' "
Despite the allure of film-
making, Mr. Friedman com-
pleted his law studies and
began to take clients. But at
the same time he co-wrote a
screenplay called "Rage,"
which was later made into a
movie starring Martin
Sheen and George C. Scott.
So began a partnership
between law and writing
that stood him in good stead
for many years. The writing
was always his passion, the
law practice away to make a
supplemental income.
But there were times, es-
pecially with the shelving of
the High Frontier project,
when Mr. Friedman
wondered if he should pur-
sue law full-time.
"You work hard, you write
a TV series or a movie . . . and
at every turn you say, 'Is this
crazy?' and 'How long can I
live like this?' "
Reasonable Doubt removed
some of those questions.
"I don't have to wonder
anymore if I'm indulging
something that's really not
so practical."
Inspired by his success
with Reasonable Doubt, Mr.
Friedman is already work-
ing on another courtroom
drama.
"I don't think I can sit
back now and relax, and that
everything will fall into my
lap," Mr. Friedman said.
"But because of the way the
publishing business works,
and the world works, you're
always pushing a rock up a
hill."
"Now," he said, "maybe
the hill seems a little less
steep." ❑
