Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Born in Etobicoke, Ontario, Graham Yost was the son of popular Canadian broadcaster Elwy Yost. He started out as a writer on shows like children's cowboy caper "Hey Dude" (Nickelodeon, 1989-1991) and high-concept sitcom "Herman's Head" (Fox 1991-94) before his script for an action thriller called "Speed" turned into an enormous hit, Yost would follow up with "Broken Arrow" (1996), and "Hard Rain" (1998).

Along with his big-screen work, Yost returned to TV as the supervising producer and writer (and also director, for one episode) of the Ron Howard-produced miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon" (HBO 1998).

Yost then wound down his film career following "Mission To Mars" (2000), gravitating back towards television as a writer and executive producer on shows, such as the ambitious procedural crime drama "Boomtown" (NBC 2002-03), the quirky detective comedy-drama "Raines" (NBC 2007).

Those shows did not last, but the critical success of the World War II drama "The Pacific" (HBO 2010), the alien-invasion drama "Falling Skies" (TNT 2011), the Cold War spy drama "The Americans" (FX 2013-2018), and the Elmore Leonard revenge drama "Justified" established Yost as a successful writer-producer.
