The yin to Ron Howard’s yang, Grazer has produced hit TV shows — “Arrested Development,” “Empire,” “Friday Night Lights” — and big-screen successes including “Splash,” “A Beautiful Mind” and “Apollo 13.” He authored the 2015 bestseller “A Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life,” recounting his penchant for picking the brains of visionaries.

Grazer’s day job remains running Imagine Entertainment, which he co-founded with Howard, a dear friend since 1979. In 2018, the studio released the buddy comedy “The Spy Who Dumped Me” and season two of Nat Geo’s “Genius,” this time focused on Pablo Picasso. Down the line is a remake of “Friday Night Lights.”
