My Take
Gary Goetzman is the kind of figure I find quietly admirable. Co-founding Playtone with Tom Hanks, he chose the producer's chair over the spotlight, shaping films and television from behind the scenes. Anyone can chase stardom; far fewer build a company and sustain a decades-long creative partnership with a major star, which says a great deal about his reliability and taste. Los Angeles produces plenty of dreamers, but the ones who actually get good work made are the dependable craftsmen. I have a soft spot for producers like him who let the work, not their own name, do the talking.
