Skip Brittenham was a lawyer and co-founder of Ziffren Brittenham. His work in television included representing clients such as Henry Winkler (right when he began acting in Happy Days), Warren Littlefield, Ted Danson, and Tom Selleck. He also represented writer-producer Gary David Goldberg and actor Michael J. Fox in a deal for Spin City that he referred to as "the best deal ever made, the best deal that would ever be made,” which led him to believe that he “could never do better than this” in television.
His clients in film included Harrison Ford (before he played Han Solo in Star Wars), Tony and Ridley Scott, and Tom Rothman.
