Executive Producer

Rich Goldman served as executive producer on Judge Hatchett, Sony Pictures Television's nationally syndicated weekday courtroom series.

Goldman produced Judge Hatchett since season one, and was elevated to the position as the sole executive producer for the series beginning with the 2007-2008 season. Under Goldman's leadership, the series continued to center around Judge Glenda Hatchett's signature "interventions" geared for families in crisis and teens in trouble, as well as cases that involved family relationships and paternity disputes.

In addition to serving as executive producer for Judge Hatchett, Goldman served as co-executive producer for Judge Maria Lopez and Judge David Young.

When not filming the Sony Pictures TV judge shows Goldman used his time to tape Rich Goldman's Creature Quest, a DVD series for kids, where Goldman leads viewers on searches for wild animals - including gorillas, tigers and humped-back whales - in exotic locations across the globe.

Before joining Sony Pictures Television, Goldman produced numerous MTV specials and series, and also produced Comedy Central's Cable Ace Award-nominated series, Viva Variety. Goldman was also awarded a SPORTS EMMY for NBC's coverage of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, where Goldman boasts he was punched by "Dream Team" member Charles Barkley.

Raised in Houston, TX, Goldman is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Jane and their dog named Puppy.
