Full interview. (22:29)
J.J. Abrams' name is as familiar as the actors that star in his projects. Successful in both TV and film, the award-winning producer-writer-director created—and composed theme music for—the small-screen hits Felicity, Alias, Lost and Fringe. Mission: Impossible III was his feature directorial debut, and the 11th Star Trek movie is his latest project. The New York native became infatuated with the business at age 8 and sold his first screenplay before college graduation. He also runs his own Bad Robot production company.
