'The Enemy Within': After 'The Mentalist' and 'Gotham', Ken Woodruff tackles a spy thriller

Ken Woodruff's writing tends to have a natural, almost realistic flow to it, and his new show 'The Enemy Within' will premiere on 25 February on NBC

Writer and producer Ken Woodruff began his work on the sets of 'Imperial Violet', a short dramatic film with an even shorter budget of $40,000. He was also the assistant to the producer for hit teen series 'The O.C'. This was the modest beginning of Woodruff's TV writing career that eventually got him on-board drama shows like 'The Mentalist' and 'Gotham'.
