Bernard Jules Brillstein [1] (26. travnja 1931. - 7. kolovoza 2008.) bio je američki filmski i televizijski producent, izvršni producent i agent za talente.
Karijeru je započeo 1950-ih u agenciji William Morris prije nego što je 1969. osnovao vlastitu tvrtku i kasnije udružio snage s Bradom Grayem kako bi vodio Brillstein-Grey Entertainment (sada Brillstein Entertainment Partners), jednog od najvažnijih i najutjecajnijih holivudskih menadžera talenta i proizvodne tvrtke. Zapamćen je po produkciji uspješnih TV programa kao što su Hee Haw, Muppet Show i Obitelj Soprano, te hit filmova uključujući The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters i Happy Gilmore.
Bernie Brillstein rođen je u židovskoj obitelji [2] na Manhattanu, od Moea Brillsteina i Matilde "Tillie" Brillstein (rođene Perlman), koji su svi dijelili dom na Manhattanu s njegovim ujakom, vodviljcem i radijskim izvođačem Jackom Pearlom. Brillsteinov otac, modist, bio je glavni pokretač izgradnje Millinery Center Synagogue, sinagoge smještene u Garment Districtu na Manhattanu.
Brillstein je zaradio put u show business u odjelu za poštu u agenciji William Morris (WMA) u New Yorku. Probio se do agenta za talente i do 1960-ih bio je menadžer-producent televizijskog programa za tvrtku. Još uvijek povezan s WMA, pridružio se Management III 1964. kako bi nastavio s upravljanjem talentima.[4] U 1960-ima također je bio suosnivač vokalne skupine The Doodletown Pipers.
Sada živeći u Los Angelesu, Brillstein je 1969. osnovao The Brillstein Company. Tamo je nastavio upravljati zvijezdama i razvijati televizijski program. Producirao je tako popularne televizijske hitove kao što su Hee Haw, The Muppet Show[5] i Saturday Night Live.6
Brillstein je kasnije postao menadžer SNL alumnija Dana Aykroyda, Gilde Radner, Johna Belushija, Martina Shorta i izvršnog producenta Lornea Michaelsa, kao i Jima Hensona (slavnog Muppeta) i Paula Fusca (glas i operater ALF-a). Producirao je i druge televizijske emisije kao što su ALF: Animirana serija i Normalan život. Također je bio ekskluzivni producent animiranog nastavka The Real Ghostbusters (temeljenog na hit filmu).
1980-ih je upoznao Brada Graya na televizijskoj konvenciji u San Franciscu. Godine 1991. [4] njih su dvoje osnovali produkcijsku tvrtku, Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, koja se bavi programiranjem i upravljanjem talentima. Bili su odgovorni za emisije kao što su NewsRadio, Just Shoot Me!, The Larry Sanders Show i The Sopranos. Kao izvršni producent, Brillstein je bio odgovoran za takve uspjehe kao što su The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Dragnet, Ghostbusters II, Happy Gilmore i The Cable Guy. Brillstein je 1996. prodao svoje udjele u tvrtki Greyu, svom nekadašnjem štićeniku. Gray je prodao svoj udio u tvrtki 2005. [6]. Također je zastupao Nicka Swardsona šest godina prije njegove smrti.
Brillsteinovi memoari iz 1999., Where Did I Go Right?: You're No One in Hollywood Unless Someone Wants You Dead, napisani su u suradnji s Davidom Rensinom.[3] Dvije godine kasnije dobio je čast kao primatelj zvijezde na Hollywood Walk of Fame, 18. travnja 2001. Njegova druga knjiga The Little Stuff Matters Most, zbirka duhovitih savjeta, objavljena je 2004. [8]
In 1967, Brillstein married Laura Smith. In 1975, he married Deborah Ellen Koskoff. In 1998, Brillstein married Carrie Winston Brillstein, a marriage that lasted until his 2008 death.
Brillstein died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at a Los Angeles hospital on August 7, 2008, at the age of 77.
Bio je producent u svim filmovima osim ako nije drugačije navedeno.
