Filmmaker Ed Burns was born out of the sweat, creativity and ingenuity of the 90s low-budget indie film movement. Famously he wrote, directed, produced and starred in his first feature The Brothers McMullen. The film launched his career as an actor, leading to roles in Saving Private Ryan, The Holiday, 27 Dresses, Man on the Ledge and many other movies. Over the years, Burns continued to act but also flex his Renaissance man talents working on over a dozen films as the writer, director, producer and star.
