Having always been an avid reader, he turned to writing during and after prison. Once released and paroled, he attended Columbia College Chicago to study Creative Writing. After graduating in 1999, Gore moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in screenwriting.
Career
editAfter optioning a number of books/articles in the mid 2000's and adapting them into TV pilots and feature scripts, Gore and his writing partner at the time sold their first pilot to Fox TV Studios in 2008. Gore sold several original pilots before getting staffed on their first show Defiance in 2011. He helped launch and run the successful NBC series Chicago P.D. for its first four seasons.
After splitting with his writing partner in 2017, Gore sold several more pilots and served as the head writer and Executive Producer on the CBS show S.W.A.T. for three seasons.
In 2019, Gore co-wrote the pilot for the police procedural D.E.A. alongside David Ayer and Chris Long[1] under Ayer's Cedar Park Entertainment. It was set to be co-produced by eOne and Fox Entertainment in 2020, but was left unproduced due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Internet Controversy
editIn 2020, Gore posted a picture on his private Facebook page of himself holding a prop M16. A friend of Gore's took a screenshot of the picture and reposted it on Twitter with a caption threatening to "light up" looters in the wake of the Los Angeles Covid Riots, tagging Law & Order Executive Producer Dick Wolf in the process. This led to Craig Gore's immediate firing from his role as a producer and writer of Law & Order: Organized Crime.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
