Simon de Waal (Amsterdam, 1961) is a Dutch writer. Specialized in television and filmscripts, he won the 'Golden Calf' in 2000 (grand prize for the Netherlands Film), for best screenplay for the film 'Leak'. Leak also won best film, best director and best actor, and several international awards, making it one of the most successful Dutch films. His book 'Cop vs Killer' was nominated for best thriller in 2005, in the Netherlands as well as in Belgium. He still works - parttime, due to his success as a writer - as a homicide-detective in Amsterdam, since 1986. At the age of 18, in 1979, he started working as a police officer in Amsterdam. He has contributed to almost every police-series in the Netherlands. In 2005, he collaborated with Lynda La Plante, creator of Prime Suspect and The Commander, and co-wrote a 2x90 minutes episode for 'The Commander' (ITV, 2005) called 'Blacklight'.
