Ed Burns is one of those guys you think you're going to hate - blessed with model good looks, married to a super model, happily married to a super model, came out of the blocks with The Brothers McMullen - but actually you don't.
He clearly loves film, works very very hard and has admirable tenacity. He's never quite recaptured the love he received for his first movie but he plugs away, adjusting his budgets low if need be.
I haven't seen all his movies but have caught some - I do wonder at times if maybe he shouldn't write all his movies, or at least maybe he could adapt a book or a play or a true story more. I remember reading a book of his first three screenplays and he seemed to run out of things to say by the third one.
But he has a great ethic. This book ends with him making a TV series with Spielberg, Public Morals - but it ends when the show was being made, not after it was cancelled.
