Lloyd Levin- Biography

About Lloyd Levin

Perhaps his greatest coup was discovering Roderick Thorpe's "Nothing Lasts Forever", the novel on which the "Die Hard" series would be based, and he served as executive in charge of production on "Die Hard" (1988) and executive producer for "Die Hard 2" (1990). Levin received his first producing credit on "The Rocketeer" (1991) and picked up his second for "Event Horizon" before sharing producing duties (with Joanne Stellar and John Lyons) on "Boogie Nights" (both 1997).
