Father, with Debrah Farentino, of daughter Sophie Hoblit, born in 1995.

Pioneered the "loose camera" look, used constantly during the first 2 seasons of NYPD Blue (1993) and then reduced by half after that due to its causing distraction from the storyline - as well as potential viewer problems similar to one reading a book while riding in a moving vehicle. This technique has recently been revived, however, on the big screen, in the 2007 release, The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).

Was fired from the film Sea of Love (1989) 10 days before shooting began.

Law (1986).

Gregory Hoblit was born in Texas but moved to Northern California at a young age because of his father's job in law enforcement, a hint at what might have attracted the mystery/courtroom plots of his movie/TV credits. After graduating from UCLA, he worked as a TV co-producer with Steven Bochco until directing the 80s series, Hill Street Blues (1981) and L. A.

Graduated from Berkeley High School, Berkeley, California in 1962
