Michael Muir Jaffe (born January 9, 1945) is an American TV and film producer. He started out in the business with his father, producer and former AFTRA lawyer Henry Jaffe (1907–1992). His mother was actress Jean Muir. He has more than 120 producing credits but ventured into writing and directing only for the A&E television series A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2001–02), which he called "the love of my life."
He is a founding partner of Jaffe/Braunstein Films in 1993 with Howard Braunstein, which became Jaffe/Braunstein Entertainment in 2007, when ITV, via Granada America, bought a controlling share of 51% in the company.
In 2011, Jaffe and Braunstein part ways, with the latter being moved to TNT. Prior to that, he ran Spectacor Films, a film division of Spectacor, of which was a founding member of distribution company ACI (Allied Communications Inc.) before being sold to Pearson Television in 1995. He also operated the company Michael Jaffe Films.
Jaffe holds a BA from Yankton College and an MA in Theater from Cornell University.
