Nobody can disagree that Steven Spielberg is a dominant fixture in Hollywood and has been for the past 40+ years. It may come as a surprise—however—that Spielberg’s influence is not solely relegated to the catalog of great films that have his imprint on them in some shape or form. He is also one of the co-founders of the theme park Universal Studios Florida and created the popular “Medal of Honor” video game series. Spielberg also dabbles in TV, and, in 1985, he created an anthology show called “Amazing Stories” which showcased the talents of multiple Hollywood directors and ran for two seasons.
