Chris Columbus
Born in Pennsylvania and raised in Ohio, Chris Columbus was first inspired to make movies after seeing "The Godfather"
at age 15. After enrolling at NYU film school, he sold his first screenplay (never produced) while a sophomore there.
After graduation Columbus tried to sell his fourth script, "Gremlins", with no success, until Steven Spielberg optioned
it; Columbus moved to Los Angeles for a year during rewrites on the project in Spielberg's bungalow at Universal. After
writing two more scripts for Spielberg, "The Goonies" and "Young Sherlock Holmes", Columbus' own directing career was
launched a few years later with "Adventures in Babysitting". He is best known to audiences as the director of the runaway
hit "Home Alone", written and produced by John Hughes its sequel "Home Alone 2", and most recently "Mrs. Doubtfire".
Lived in England for a year and a half while filming the first two Harry Potter films. Opted out of the third film so
he could come home and spend more time with his family. However, he will likely direct the fourth Harry Potter adventure,
The Goblet of Fire.
