Howard Peter Guber, commonly known as Peter Guber, is a famous American film producer, entrepreneur, as well as a published author. To the public, Peter Guber is perhaps best known as the Chairman of an entertainment company called “Mandalay Entertainment Group”, which was established by Guber in 1995. Currently, the company is separated into four divisions, namely “Mandalay Pictures”, which is responsible for film production, “Mandalay Television”, which deals with the production of television series, “Mandalay Sports Entertainment”, which overlooks professional baseball franchises, and “Dick Clark Productions”. Over the years, Guber’s company has produced such films and television series as “Sleepy Hollow”, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the 1998 film “Les Miserables” with Liam Neeson and Uma Thurman, “Sole Survivor” mini-series, and “Angels Falls” starring Heather Locklear and Derek Hamilton.

In addition to owning a profitable company, Peter Guber is also known as a published author. Guber released his very first book entitled “Inside the Deep” in 1977, which was followed by “Shoot Out” in 2003, and the more recent release of “Tell to Win: Connect, Persuade and Triumph With the Hidden Power of Story”. The latter book has turned out to be Guber’s most successful publication to date, as it featured at #1 on the list of best-sellers compiled by the New York Times newspaper. His other two books were adapted into a television show under the name of “Shootout”.
