Quincy LeNear Gossfield
Quincy LeNear Gossfield is a Director, Producing Director/Supervising Producer of Paramount+ Showtime's acclaimed hour-long drama series The Chi. He and his spouse/partner, Deondray Gossfield, are dubbed the "Godfathers of LGBTQ+ TV." They are the creators, writers, and directors of the iconic GLAAD award-winning anthology series, The DL Chronicles, a predecessor of LGBTQ POC series such as POSE. The DL Chronicles achieved the historic distinction of becoming the first African American cable TV series to be nominated and win the GLAAD Media Award in 2008.

The Gossfields later created and directed the Amazon Prime spin-off series The Chadwick Journals, which won the 2021 Telly Award and garnered a 2020 Daytime Emmy® Nomination. As a TV producer in both narrative and unscripted, Gossfield has developed and produced specials and scripted series for networks such as Cinemax, ABC, Disney Channel, MTV, Sony Television, CBS, CW, SyFy, Comedy Central, and more. For the first ten years of LeNear's diverse career, he found success as a television and film actor, having co-starred and appeared in multiple motion pictures, TV series, and national television commercials.

He is an active member of the Director's Guild of America, the Producer's Guild of America, and the Screen Actors Guild. He and his partner/spouse are the co-founders of the Russelli & Hall Company production company.
