Jonathan Littman

As the head of Hollywood super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer's TV department, known as Bruckheimer Television, Jonathan Littman executive produced and developed some of the most widely watched shows of the 2000s. At one point during the decade, Littman served as executive producer on a record-breaking 10 shows on television, most notably the procedural dramas "Without A Trace" (CBS 2002-09) and "Cold Case" (CBS 2003-2010), as well as the Dylan McDermott-starring crime series, "Dark Blue" (TNT 2009-10). Littman's biggest hits just happen to be two of the most successful shows in the history of television - "CSI" (CBS 2000- ) and "The Amazing Race" (CBS 2001- ) - both of which have spawned equally as successful franchises and spin-off series. A somewhat shy figure that shunned interviews and enjoyed working behind the camera, Jonathan Littman was not your typical cigar-chomping egomaniac producer. Yet over the course of two decades, he proved time and time again that ego is no recipe to success in Hollywood, you just need to work hard and have great material. Luckily for Littman, he was blessed with both.
