Joel Silver
Joel Silver belongs to the production side of the business, as an American producer whose credit is the kind that scrolls past at the end. 108 credits is enough to call this a career rather than a run of jobs. 'The Matrix' is where the largest audience encountered this work. 'V for Vendetta' is close behind in visibility. 1980 is the year the credit list begins. More credits fall under action than under anything else.
