Edgar Hoover, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, "Tower Heist," starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy, and "Restless," directed by Gus Van Sant.

Imagine Entertainment's television series include "Sports Night," "Felicity," "Arrested Development," "24" with Kiefer Sutherland, "Friday Night Lights," "Parenthood," "Lie to Me," and "Empire." In 2002, Grazer won an Oscar for Best Picture for "A Beautiful Mind" and has since continued to produce award-winning content, with his recent productions including "Hillbilly Elegy," "Tick, Tick...Boom!," and "Genius: Picasso." Additionally, Grazer produced "Get on Up," a biopic of the legendary "Godfather of Soul" James Brown, and "In the Heart of the Sea," directed by Ron Howard and starring Chris Hemsworth, about the American whaleship the Essex.
