Template:Realworld Herbert J. Wright, born on November 9th, 1947, was the writer or co-writer of four episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He was also a producer during the show's first season.
Wright wrote the episode "The Last Outpost", which introduced the Ferengi. He also wrote the second Ferengi episode, "The Battle". Because of this, he has been dubbed the "Father of the Ferengi". As a joke reference, a character (Herb Wright) named after him was listed in a Starfleet office directory in TNG: "Violations".
Wright previously worked with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry when the latter was developing the film The Questor Tapes. The project fell through, however, as Roddenberry left the production due to creative differences with the studio.
Wright was an associate producer on the television series McCloud, which starred Diana Muldaur. Other TV series he produced include The Six Million Dollar Man, Night Gallery, and Hunter. He also wrote for the latter series.
Wright passed away on August 24th, 2005.
