Biography
Faiman was born in Melbourne.[1] He directed/produced the Paul Hogan Show and the Graham Kennedy and Don Lane shows[3] for about six years of its eight-and-a-half-year run.[4] He also produced a show hosted by Bert Newton and one by Ernie Sigley.[4] In 1981, he was awarded the Member of the Order of Australia in the 1981 Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to the media, particularly in the field of television production.[2]
Faiman was involved in several Rupert Murdoch projects, including in the UK as creative and management consultant at BSkyB,[3] and in the US at the Fox Network, where he produced the Emmy Award-winning news magazine program The Reporters and A Current Affair in New York City.[3] He went on to become Vice President of Fox Circle Productions[3] and later President of Programs and Production at 20th Century Fox Television in Los Angeles.[3] He guided the launch of the FX Network in New York in 1994,[3] and was the coordinating director for the opening and closing broadcasts of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games on behalf of the Sydney Olympic Broadcasting Organisation (SOBO).[5]
Faiman directed the 1986 blockbuster film Crocodile Dundee,[4] and the 1991 American comedy Dutch, which was a box office disappointment.[4] He also produced the animated feature FernGully: The Last Rainforest.[4]
Since returning to Australia in 2002, he has been a program consultant for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, acting as a consulting producer on Strictly Ballroom, Spicks and Specks and The Pet Show.[4] Faiman also helped conceptualise the Webby Award-winning multi-platform project SkillsOne.[3]
