The Best
Dancer and Tony Award winning choreographer for the original Follies, A Chorus Line and Dreamgirls on stage. Wow!
Perhaps known by most for his 1946 movie, It's a Wonderful Life, this director had a long career with many other memorable films including It Happened One Night and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Check out an interview with him here.
Solo dancer, choreographer, and director in all the major mediums. Of special interest are his direction of Hello Dolly! with Carol Channing, I Do! I Do!, Mack & Mabel, and his final, terrific show, 42nd Street, which he didn't live to see the opening night of.
Most certainly, Da Guy's favorite choreographer. Tantalizing, sometimes erotic, and always distinct moves. A musical theatre dancer, choreographer, and director on the legitimate stage, television, and film. Once you see "that look" of the movements he created, you'll forever know it's Fosse. Some of Da Guy's favorite productions include Cabaret, Liza with a "Z" (on TV), the almost autobiographical All that Jazz (in the movies), Chicago, Dancin', and the more recent Broadway tribute recreated from some of his most memorable work -- Fosse.
The director, producer, and master of suspense and thrillers everyone remembers from the big screen and his weekly TV shows. Check out a fun interview with him and Dick Cavett here.
As an actor, you may remember him in the film version of The Music Man, and on the little screen, for sure you know Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie on Happy Days. As a director, there are some good films with his mark: Splash, Cocoon, Backdraft, Apollo 13, and A Beautiful Mind, to name a few.
Movie director, writer, and actor. Great friends with Bogart. Remember the Treasure of Sierra Madre and African Queen? Check out an interesting interview with him and Dick Cavett here.
A story teller and the man who started it all with Star Wars and in collaboration with Stephen Spielberg, the wonderful Indiana Jones films. He and his Lucas empire are still leading the way into new entertainment technologies such as THX and digital. Check out Lucasfilm and LucasArts.


One of the greatest Broadway directors and producers with 21 Tony Awards. A long time collaborator with Stephen Sondheim and the original director for many of Da Guy's favorite productions: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Cabaret, Zorba, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Side-by-Side By Sondheim, On the 20th Century, Sweeney Todd, Evita, and The Phantom of the Opera (on stage and recreated in Las Vegas), and the 1990's revival of Show Boat.
An amazing choreographer remembered by Da Guy for his original work with Mary Martin in Peter Pan, On the Town, The King and I, The Pajama Game, West Side Story, Gypsy, and Fiddler on the Roof. Some of the best numbers from many of his shows were recreated in Jerome Robbins on Broadway. Check out the Jerome Robbins Foundation.
A great director and producer primarily for the big screen. While he makes some of the best films, it's apparent he simply loves the magic of the movies. Some of the most memorable films include: Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the Indiana Jones films with George Lucas, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, The Color Purple, the Jurassic Park films, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and The Terminal.
