Hampton Fancher

Hampton Fancher

Hampton Fancher (born July 18, 1938) is a former actor who became a producer and screenwriter in the late 1970s. Fancher was born to a Mexican mother and an American father in East Los Angeles, California, US. [ [http://www.gettingit.com/article/14 Gettingit.com: Life of a Hollywood Scribe ] ] At 15, he ran away to Spain to become a flamenco dancer and renamed himself Mario Montejo. He was married briefly to Sue Lyon of "Lolita" fame.

Fancher lives in New York City.

Career

He is best known for writing the first screenplay of the science fiction film "Blade Runner". After convincing Philip K. Dick to option his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", Fancher wrote a screenplay and got the support of producer Michael Deeley. This made Fancher the executive producer which led to disagreements with the director Ridley Scott and David Peoples being brought in to continue reworking the script.

Fancher wrote two films afterward, "The Mighty Quinn" (1989) starring Denzel Washington and "The Minus Man" (1999), which he also directed, starring Owen Wilson.

Fancher will appear in a cameo role in the upcoming independent film "Tonight at Noon" by Michael Almereyda, which stars Rutger Hauer. Fancher provided the voiceover narration for the DVD extras in The Criterion Collection edition of famous film noir "The Killers", which included the 1946, 1956 and 1964 versions.
