Kevin Wade at an event for Blue Bloods (2010)
Kevin Wade is an American writer and producer. He began his career by writing plays, and one of his earliest works was "Key Exchange", staged in 1983 and later turned into a movie in 1985.

In 1988, he turned his look into film writing and end up writing one of the year's biggest hits, which was the celebrated comedy Working Girl (1988), directed by Mike Nichols. Wade was nominated for a Golden Globe and the Writers Guild of America for his screenplay but didn't secure the nomination as Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards - where the movie landed several nominations including Best Picture.

Wade's next move was the political drama Le jeu du pouvoir (1991) starring John Cusack and James Spader; followed by the Tom Selleck comedy Mr. Baseball (1992) , Ivan Reitman's Junior (1994), the epic romance Rencontre avec Joe Black (1998) and the rom-com Coup de foudre à Manhattan (2002).

Starting in the late 2000's, Wade became involved only on TV projects, writing and producing shows such as Cashmere Mafia (2008) and Blue Bloods (2010).
