Jerry Bruckheimer Summary and Analysis

Jerry Bruckheimer, movie and television producer, began playing sports as a small child. Hockey and baseball were Jerry's two best sports. However, Jerry gave up hockey at twelve until he was an adult and had the opportunity to meet Wayne Gretzky. This meeting made him enthusiastic enough that he got back into the game.

Jerry learned how talent could get an athlete far, and he used that knowledge in his career to pick actors with the same level of talent to make good movies. Jerry also learned a love of sports that has helped him spread that love to his friends and family through a special tournament he sponsors every year.
