I found this article on Alan Siegel to be very interesting, as I had never read much about him. I just always see him with Gerry, but didn't know much about him other than he was G's manager. He certainly is very talented, as well as educated!  Bio ALAN SIEGEL: impressive international client list and industry-wide reputation for a strong work ethic has earned him his own unique place in the entertainment industry as a talent manager overseeing the careers of a select group of clients. In addition to founding and leading Alan Siegel Entertainment for many years, he launched the production shingle, Evil Twins, with client and friend Gerard Butler in March of 2008. Wanting to be a part of the entertainment industry from an early age, Alan attended The Juilliard School of Music for voice as a child. By the age of 15, he taught piano in his hometown of Bayside, Queens to many of the neighborhood children. He first made his mark as an actor on Broadway and appeared in national commercials. While moonlighting in theater, Alan’s daytime activities included instructing High School English for the New York City Public School System and working in Bushwick, Brooklyn teaching sixth grade. Moving his career west to Los Angeles while still pursuing an acting career, Alan taught English as a second language in North Hollywood High Adult School and gave acting classes at Hollywood High while appearing in episodic television shows. Deciding it was more enjoyable representing actors rather than acting himself; he pursued managing as a full time career and opened his own management firm. Alan Siegel has also extended a philanthropic hand as an executive board member of The Charity Parody Foundation, a group he co-founded to raise funds for AIDS patients' health care. Additionally, he has donated over 3,000 hours as a counselor for AIDS Project Los Angeles and sits on the board of Kids Kicking Cancer whose mission is to ease the pain of very sick children while empowering them to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally. He holds two masters of arts degrees: one in directing (New York University) and a second in clinical psychology (Antioch University). His life partner of fifteen years is famed fashion designer, David Meister. They married in 2008 and reside in Los Angeles and Palm Springs with their dog, Petey. Producer- Job Description The chief of a movie production in all matters save the creative efforts of the director. A producer is responsible for raising funding, hiring key personnel, and arranging for distributors.
