Brian Grazer: I faked being rich

Television and film producer Brian Grazer went to the University of Southern California during a time he said his fellow students were all “really rich.” Working 40 hours a week while going to school, Grazer saved to buy his own Porsche, but in order to fit in with his uber wealthy classmates, he lied and said his parents gave it to him. Following college Grazer used a tip he got eavesdropping to get a job as a law clerk with Warner Bros studio, which he leveraged to get time in front of some of the entertainment industry's great luminaries, including Warren Beatty and Lew Wasserman. Grazer describes some of his first jobs outside of Hollywood; he grew up with odd jobs, even making money on a “voluntary payment” paper route. His friend Tom Hanks says this makes him a perfect producer. Plus, Grazer recounts why he buried money in the San Fernando Valley.
