Fact

He was originally the producer of The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) and hired three people, whom many felt were wrong for the project: writer Michael Cristofer, director Brian De Palma, and star Tom Hanks. He quit before filming began to go work for another company, and even though, he is credited as Executive Producer in the opening credits, the critics didn't mention him in their reviews as they blamed Cristofer, De Palma and Hanks for the fiasco.
