Tom Fontana exits 'Philanthropist'


April 21, 2008 Tom Fontana has exited NBC's upcoming drama series "The Philanthropist" over creative differences with the network. "Philanthropist," set at Universal Media Studios, centers on a renegade billionaire who uses his wealth, connections and power to help people in need no matter what the risks or costs. Fontana assembled a writing staff for the show and began breaking stories for additional episodes until the WGA strike brought the process to a halt.
