Few people make it big in the television industry. Even fewer get to dabble in first-rate TV and movie projects at the same time. J.J. Abrams is one in that select group of people with a string of credits as writer, producer and director. 

At present, the 38-year-old Abrams’ many ventures include TV series like the espionage drama Alias, plane crash survivors’ drama Lost and a new show about a single guy’s relationships called What about Brian plus action movies Mission: Impossible 3 and The Good Sailor that are both set for release next year.
