If you don’t know Brian Grazer by name — or hair –you will know him by his iconic movies that have been a cornerstone in Hollywood for more than three decades.

Getting his start in the ’80s, Grazer found a successful partnership with legendary director Ron Howard, which eventually turned into the powerhouse production company Imagine Entertainment.

Ever curious and ever ambitious, the Southern California born-and-bred producer led his career through every genre and niche imaginable, including the underground hip-hop scene in “8 Mile,”  a subject he has since continued to develop in FOX’s breakout show “Empire.” Grazer recently released “A Curious Mind” a book co-written with business journalist Charles Fishman which includes insights into the success of many of his career’s biggest hits, including the nine following films.
