Bruce Nash has established a reputation as one of the most creative, prolific
and successful producers in the entertainment world. He was recognized as a pioneer in the reality television field well before the genre reached the extraordinary level of popularity it enjoys today.Before getting into television, Nash wrote and produced more than eighty books, many of them on sports. He specialized in reporting the “lost” stories of sports that had been largely forgotten through the passage of time. One of his books, “The Greatest Sports Stories Never Told,” led to the creation of his critically acclaimed Fox Sports Net series entitled “Amazing Sports Stories,” which was nominated for four Sports Emmys including Outstanding New Approaches to Sports Programming. Nash also produced an ESPN documentary on the life of Fritz Pollard, an overlooked sports hero who broke the color barrier in professional football twenty-seven years before Jackie Robinson did it in baseball. This documentary contributed significantly to Pollard being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Nash first burst onto the reality TV scene with his family-friendly hit "Before They Were Stars." He quickly followed up this success by breaking all ratings records with his provocative "Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed" specials. But he is proudest of the critical acclaim he received for producing the historic television event "The First Family's Holiday Gift to America: A Personal Tour of the White House," hosted by President and Mrs. Clinton. Nash is also the creator of “Modern Marvels," one of cable television's longest-running series with nearly 500 one-hour episodes. Nash has consistently brought millions of viewers to the screen with his riveting, "You won't believe your eyes!" TV shows like the classic reality hits "When Good Pets Go Bad," "World's Worst Drivers," "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" "World's Scariest Ghosts: Caught on Tape," “The World's Deadliest Earthquakes" and "The Glutton Bowl: The World's Greatest Eating Competition." Compelling, controversial and consistently successful, these shows continue to sell worldwide and domestically years after their original network broadcasts. Nash's most recent television projects include the truTV series “Top 20 Most Shocking,” “Most Shocking,” and “Most Daring”; “Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed” for MyNetworkTV; “Moments of Impact” for Discovery Channel; “World’s Most Amazing Videos” for Spike TV; and “Amazing Sports Stories” for Fox Sports Net. Previous Nash hits include “For Love or Money,” “Meet My Folks,” “Who Wants To Marry My Dad?” “Who Wants To Be A Superhero?“ and “Outback Jack.” But his successful formula for creating and producing hit shows is not limited to the U.S. Nash is an international brand. His shows and formats have sold throughout the world for many years and are timeless in their appeal. Nash is quickly developing an aggressive feature film slate, which includes “Girl Most Wanted” for Fox 2000 (with Katherine Heigl attached to star and produce, and Steve Pink to write); "Home Movies" for DreamWorks (with Shawn Levy attached to direct); "Staycation" for Warner Brothers (with Todd Phillips’ company Green Hat Films attached to produce); "Dog Overboard" for Sony; and "To Wally Ward," a baseball-themed drama written by Angelo Pizzo ("Hoosiers" and "Rudy"). |
