As the celebrated author of the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, Wolf gained fame in 1988 when his literary vision of humans cohabitating with animated characters became a reality in the $750 million blockbuster Disney/Spielberg film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. The film won four Academy Awards and launched a multiple-picture screen writing deal for Wolf with Walt Disney Pictures. In addition, his ideas inspired Toontown, the newest themed land at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
After graduating from the University of Illinois with a Masters degree in advertising, Wolf began his career as an advertising executive for a San Francisco advertising agency. He then switched coasts and moved East where he worked as vice president and creative director for several more advertising agencies. He is now a full-time writer living in Boston.
Among his writing credits are the novels Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, Who P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?, The Late Great Show and his current novel, The Urban Jungle Book; the feature films Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and the Roger Rabbit sequel feature in production, The Flying Tigerfish, Typhoon Lagoon, The Curse of Cali Caliph and Genie Man; the animated shorts Tummy Trouble, Roller Coaster Rabbit and Trail Mix-up; plus numerous short story anthologies.
