    ===Star Trek: The Next Generation===

    === Star Trek: The Next Generation ===
    Behr first joined the ''Star Trek'' franchise early in the production of Season 3 of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', after Michael Piller asked him to come on-board and help supervise the writing staff, with his first job being to perform a major rewrite on "The Hunted". Behr recalled that the atmosphere in the writing room was frequently very tense, as the existing writers (including Hans Beimler, Richard Manning and Melinda M. Snodgrass) were still mostly loyal to former showrunner Maurice Hurley and did not particularly like working under Piller, with interference from Gene Roddenberry also exacerbating the situation. Matters nearly came to a head midway through the season after Piller circulated a note about basic writing practices, which outraged Beimler, Manning and Snodgrass, with Behr's intervention being the only thing that prevented the trio from immediately quitting the show. From then until the end of the season Behr had to act as a go-between to Piller and the rest of the writing staff, and while Piller had actually suggested that Behr replace him as showrunner for the following season, he turned the offer down and left the show altogether, though did return to write the episode "Qpid" in a freelance capacity.

    A few years later, Behr was once again approached by Piller and Rick Berman to be a writer and producer on a new show, ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine''. Intrigued by the opportunity to work on a new type of ''Star Trek'' show with a fixed setting, Behr accepted the offer. He would subsequently play an important part in developing the show's main recurring adversary, the Dominion, and with Piller moving over to another new show, ''Star Trek: Voyager'', Behr was agreed to be the obvious choice to succeed him. Behr therefore became co-showrunner with Piller at the start of the third season, before taking over as the sole showrunner as of "The Die is Cast", a position he would hold until the end of the show's run.

    In 1995, Rick Berman praised Behr's work on the fourth season of ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', saying "''I cannot begin to relate the importance of the work that Ira Behr has put into all of this. The quality of the shows is a tribute to Ira. He is truly pushing his writers to produce above and beyond their already high quality work. He is getting a certain creative element out of his writers. He has become a real inspiration to them and they are all writing beautiful stuff. He's doing a great job''".

    Around 2003, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga asked Behr for his opinion on ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' and to offer suggestions on how to improve that series. Behr commented "''Rick called me up, it was his initiative. He asked me had I seen ''Enterprise'', I told him no. He asked if I could look at it – they were thinking maybe of stepping back and that "this be another DS9 experience," whatever that meant. I didn't really think it over in terms of what were the chances of that reality happening again. They sent me the three shows, I went in, had a two hour meeting with Rick and Brannon. It was a very cordial meeting, but everything I said I am sure they did not like hearing. I would not liked to have heard it if someone came into my office and talked as bluntly as I was talking to them. Though again, it was done all cordially. After it was over I am sure they were uncomfortable, I was very uncomfortable, we shook hands, Rick said, "well, all interesting stuff, we'll think it over," and I never heard from him again. That's the whole story and it's barely a blip in anyone's lives, it has no impact whatsoever on the franchise. It's just something that happened''". [2]<sup><small>(X)</small></sup> Ten years later, in 2013, Brannon Braga bluntly recalled that he thought Behr "''shit all over the show''" during the meeting and that Behr "''hated the concept, hated the characters.''"

    ===After Star Trek ===

    After ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'' ended its run, he has been involved in many other successful television shows. He was a consulting producer on ''Dark Angel'' and was an executive producer on ''The Twilight Zone'' (2002-2003).

He was a consulting producer on ''Dark Angel'' and was an executive producer on ''The Twilight Zone'' (2002-2003). After that, he was the executive producer and writer on René Echevarria's ''The 4400''.

    It was during the writing of ''The 4400'' miniseries that saw Behr first dye his beard blue. He commented: "''There is a story. When we did the first season, it was a miniseries. And they were, let's say, trying to save money, and they would not put us in a studio. They would not get us offices anywhere, as it turned out. So, well, where the hell are we gonna go? You know, we gotta write six episodes... So they put us in Viacom Productions on Wilshire and Westwood, and so suddenly you have this writing staff with all the corporate suits. And it pissed me off, it really did. And we'd be sitting in the offices, and there was a window on my office, and it was frosted, but there was a little bar of clear glass, and every day I'd look up and there'd be eyes staring at me, looking in, I swear to God, and people would come in and go, 'How's it going? How's the scripts going?' I'm going, 'It was going great, until you just interrupted me!' So, I got more and more unhappy with the conditions that we were working under, and I came home one day and I talked to my wife and kids and said, 'You know, I gotta remember, I'm not them and they're not me. How do I keep remembering that?' And my wife said, 'Blue your beard.' And my daughter said, 'Yes yes yes yes yes!' Of course, I had once met Billy Connolly, the comedian, and he had these long ringlets of hair and this little imperial beard; he was like Wild Bill Hickok, and I said, "'Boy, you look awesome, you look great!' And he said, 'I used to want to be the most famous comedian on the planet, now I just want to be the coolest dad at The Oakwood School.' And I said, 'Wow, that's something I have to remember.' And then I decided, hey, Campbell Hall, where my kids go, is even less cool than the Oakwood School, so I could probably be the coolest parent there easily! And at the beginning when I walked in the first time to Jeff [Combs] and all these people, it was like, 'What is going on!?" And it just could not have been better. Now of course they're used to it, and it's a big joke, and it's lost its impact. But my kids like it...''"

    The following article is written from an Out of Universe perspective.

    Ira Steven Behr (born 23 October 1953) is the first Franchise Executive of the Doctor Who franchise a role he was officially in from 2012 to 2015. He served as co-showrunner and as an executive producer of Doctor Who in seasons 41, 42 and 43. He continued to serve an executive producer of Doctor Who until season 49. He co-created the spin-off's Rebel Zero (with Paul Cornell and Tony Redston) and Panopticon (with Redston, Marc Platt and Gary Russell), in which he served as an executive producers on both shows and served as showrunner on the third series of Panopticon. He also served as an executive producer on the spin-off Cold Front.

    Prior to Doctor Who 

    Ira Steven Behr was born in New York City, and graduated Lehman College there. Subsequently, he studied Mass Communications and Theater at Brandeis University where he was offered a playwriting scholarship. However, he moved to Los Angeles instead to pursue a career in writing comedies for television and film. But instead of comedy, Behr became known for his television dramas. His first breakthrough was on the James Garner television series Bret Maverick. He later served as story editor for the series Jessica Novack. Behr was also writer/producer of the series Fame, Once a Hero, and Bronx Zoo.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation

    Behr first joined the Star Trek franchise early in the production of Season 3 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, after Michael Piller asked him to come on-board and help supervise the writing staff, with his first job being to perform a major rewrite on "The Hunted". Behr recalled that the atmosphere in the writing room was frequently very tense, as the existing writers (including Hans Beimler, Richard Manning and Melinda M. Snodgrass) were still mostly loyal to former showrunner Maurice Hurley and did not particularly like working under Piller, with interference from Gene Roddenberry also exacerbating the situation. Matters nearly came to a head midway through the season after Piller circulated a note about basic writing practices, which outraged Beimler, Manning and Snodgrass, with Behr's intervention being the only thing that prevented the trio from immediately quitting the show. From then until the end of the season Behr had to act as a go-between to Piller and the rest of the writing staff, and while Piller had actually suggested that Behr replace him as showrunner for the following season, he turned the offer down and left the show altogether, though did return to write the episode "Qpid" in a freelance capacity.

    Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    A few years later, Behr was once again approached by Piller and Rick Berman to be a writer and producer on a new show, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Intrigued by the opportunity to work on a new type of Star Trek show with a fixed setting, Behr accepted the offer. He would subsequently play an important part in developing the show's main recurring adversary, the Dominion, and with Piller moving over to another new show, Star Trek: Voyager, Behr was agreed to be the obvious choice to succeed him. Behr therefore became co-showrunner with Piller at the start of the third season, before taking over as the sole showrunner as of "The Die is Cast", a position he would hold until the end of the show's run.

    Behr can be seen sitting at a table in Vic Fontaine's lounge in DS9's finale, "What You Leave Behind", along with other series writers and producers, presumably as part of the holographic audience.

    In pieces of background signage (such as the USS Defiant (NX-74205) dedication plaque), there is a listing of Behr's name, meaning that in a literal interpretation, there is a Starfleet officer named Ira Steven Behr.

    In 1995, Rick Berman praised Behr's work on the fourth season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, saying "I cannot begin to relate the importance of the work that Ira Behr has put into all of this. The quality of the shows is a tribute to Ira. He is truly pushing his writers to produce above and beyond their already high quality work. He is getting a certain creative element out of his writers. He has become a real inspiration to them and they are all writing beautiful stuff. He's doing a great job".

    Other Star Trek Involvement

    In 1998, Behr was asked by Michael Piller for his opinion on an early draft of Star Trek: Insurrection. Piller agreed with many of the suggestions Behr made about the weaknesses in the draft.

    Around 2003, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga asked Behr for his opinion on Star Trek: Enterprise and to offer suggestions on how to improve that series. Behr commented "Rick called me up, it was his initiative. He asked me had I seen Enterprise, I told him no. He asked if I could look at it – they were thinking maybe of stepping back and that "this be another DS9 experience," whatever that meant. I didn't really think it over in terms of what were the chances of that reality happening again. They sent me the three shows, I went in, had a two hour meeting with Rick and Brannon. It was a very cordial meeting, but everything I said I am sure they did not like hearing. I would not liked to have heard it if someone came into my office and talked as bluntly as I was talking to them. Though again, it was done all cordially. After it was over I am sure they were uncomfortable, I was very uncomfortable, we shook hands, Rick said, "well, all interesting stuff, we'll think it over," and I never heard from him again. That's the whole story and it's barely a blip in anyone's lives, it has no impact whatsoever on the franchise. It's just something that happened".  Ten years later, in 2013, Brannon Braga bluntly recalled that he thought Behr "shit all over the show" during the meeting and that Behr "hated the concept, hated the characters.

    After Star Trek

    After Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended its run, he has been involved in many other successful television shows. He was a consulting producer on Dark Angel and was an executive producer on The Twilight Zone (2002-2003).

    Work on Doctor Who

    Behr joined the Doctor Who production team in 2003 at the start of the pre-production for Season 41. He was asked to look over Doctor Who, in an Executive Producer's capacity, by Paramount Television, the co-owners and co-producers of Doctor Who, while also, for the first few years, working on the 4400.

    In 2006, Behr co-created the spin-off, Rebel Zero, alongside Paul Cornell and Tony Redston, the script editor and producer of Doctor Who respectively. Behr, intended for the series to run for more than just a single mini-series however Paul Cornell disagreed with him as he felt it worked better as a single story.

    In 2007, when Gary Russell took over as Doctor Who's Producer, Behr became a full time executive producer, getting more hands-on in production and contributing more to the Writer's Room. Behr, co-created the spinoff Panopticon with Tony Redston, Gary Russell and Marc Platt. Behr contributed heavily to the development of Panopticon and even co-wrote the finale of Series 1 and the opener of Series 2.
