J.J. Abrams, sometimes known as Jeffrey Jacob Abrams to his admirers, is an American producer, director, actor, and screenwriter for cinema and television.
He specializes in science fiction and action roles, and is most known for his work on television series like Alias and Felicity as well as movies like Star Trek and Mission Impossible III. Given that his father is a television producer, it was only natural that he became interested in filmmaking at a young age. He co-wrote a screenplay with Jill Mazursky while still an undergraduate, and Touchstone Pictures finally decided to turn it into the movie “Taking Care of Business.” The movie went poorly, and it took Abrams some more time to establish himself in the business.
