Every so often someone emerges in a field and manages to not only revolutionize it, but do so several times. '''Steven Spielberg''' is one of those people, with a career that has gone uninterrupted since the mid-70's and is one of the most influential powers in Hollywood.
Playing with his video camera as a kid, he enrolled in a community college with a small film program and used those connections to get work until he got his big break, a low-budget, cult hit TV film ''[[Duel (film)|Duel]]''. ''Duel'' was an expertly made action thriller that got him a lot of attention, enough to be brought on as the director for the film that would launch him into the stratosphere, ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'', the [[Ur Example|first]] summer blockbuster (Not so big as ''[[Star Wars]]'', but big enough and one of the most critically acclaimed films of all time to this day).

Spielberg has also done television work, as well. He directed an episode of ''[[Rod Serling]]'s [[Night Gallery]]'', and has produced television shows such as ''[[Amazing Stories (TV series)|Amazing Stories]]'', ''[[SeaQuest DSV|Sea Quest DSV]]'', ''[[ER]]'', and ''[[United States of Tara]]''.
He's also delved into animation as well. He collaborated with [[Don Bluth]] in the 1980's to produce box office successes like ''[[An American Tail]]'' and ''[[The Land Before Time]]'', also starting his own animation studio, [[Amblimation]], which would go on to produce the somewhat less successful ''[[We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story]]'', ''[[An American Tail]]: Fievel Goes West'', and ''[[Balto]]''. He is also known as the executive producer for (and mistakenly believed to have created, thanks to [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It]]) [[Warner Bros]] Silver Age cartoons ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', ''[[Animaniacs]]'', ''[[Freakazoid!]]'', ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'', and ''[[Pinky, Elmyra
