Robert Iscove (born 4 July 1947; age 76) is the Canadian director, producer and choreographer who directed the Star Trek: The Next Generation second season episode "The Icarus Factor". Iscove was interviewed by Edward Gross for the article "Robert Iscove – Inventor of "The Icarus Factor", published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 19, p. 25.
Before becoming a director, Iscove was a choreographer for the films Jesus Christ Superstar (1973), The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox (1976), and Silent Movie (1976), as well as a number of variety shows and musical TV specials. His early directorial efforts were televised dance specials such as 1983's Romeo and Juliet on Ice, which earned him a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in the Performing Arts – Directing.
Iscove went on to direct for such popular television programs as Miami Vice, Alfred Hitchcock Presents (two episodes written by Jim Beaver), 21 Jump Street, Wiseguy, and The Flash. He also directed numerous made-for-TV movies, including four installments of the Frank Janek movies starring Richard Crenna. Included among those are 1990's Murder in Black and White (featuring Caroline Kava and Tom Wright), 1992's Terror on Track 9 (featuring Stephen McHattie), 1994's The Forget-Me-Not Murders (co-starring Vaughn Armstrong and Stan Ivar), and 1994's Janek: The Silent Betrayal (starring William Shatner of TOS fame and co-starring Jude Ciccolella). TV movies he both directed and produced include 1994's Without Consent (featuring Paul Sorvino) and Without Warning (with Ron Canada, John de Lancie, and Marnie McPhail) and 1995's It Was Him or Us, starring TNG regular Wil Wheaton.
Iscove received an Emmy Award nomination for directing the 1997 made-for-TV adaptation of Cinderella which starred recurring TNG actress Whoopi Goldberg and Star Trek: Voyager guest actor Jason Alexander. In 1998, he directed his first mainstream feature film, She's All That, which opened in January 1999 and featured Gabrielle Union in the cast. His next film was another romantic comedy, Boys and Girls, released in 2000. Afterward, Iscove directed Malcolm McDowell in the Sci-Fi Channel's Firestarter 2: Rekindled (2002). He then directed From Justin to Kelly (2003), a failed attempt to capitalize on the success of the widely popular singing contest American Idol by casting that show's winner (Kelly Clarkson) and runner-up (Justin Guarini) in the leads. For his work on this film, Iscove received a nomination as Worst Director from the Razzie Awards.
