Biography
Buck began his career as a sitcom writer, then joined the staff of Six Feet Under as a writer and supervising producer in 2002 for the show's second season. He wrote the second season episode "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". He remained a supervising producer for the third season in 2003 and wrote two further episodes "You Never Know" and "Everyone Leaves". He was promoted to co-executive producer for the fourth season in 2004. He wrote two more episodes "That's My Dog" and "Bomb Shelter". He was nominated for both an individual WGA award, as well as WGA awards for Best Writing Staff. He received a Peabody award for his work on Six Feet Under. He remained a co-executive producer for the fifth and final season in 2005 and contributed two more episodes – "Dancing for Me" and "Singing For Our Lives". He contributed 7 episodes to the series in total.
Buck worked as a co-executive producer on the second season of HBO's Rome in 2007. He wrote two episodes for the series ("These Being the Words of Marcus Tullius Cicero" and "Death Mask") before it was canceled.
He moved on to work as a co-executive producer and writer on the second season of Showtime's Dexter later in 2007. Buck was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Series at the February 2008 ceremony for his work on the second season of Dexter.[1][2][3] He remained a co-executive producer for the third season in 2008. Buck was again nominated for a WGA award for best dramatic series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the third season.[4] He remained a writer and executive producer for the fourth season in 2009. He was nominated for the WGA award a third consecutive time at the February 2010 ceremony for his work on the fourth season of Dexter.[5] For season six of Dexter, after the previous show runners left the series, Buck was promoted to showrunner position. His three seasons as showrunner were not well received, with the final season of Dexter in particular receiving poor reviews, resulting in Buck and his team having to defend their narrative choices.
In December 2015, Buck was hired to serve as showrunner and executive producer for the Marvel and Netflix series Iron Fist.[6]
