He finished his undergraduate studies at the [[New York University]]'s [[Tisch School of the Arts]].

In 1984 he bought the Wright-designed [[Storer House]] in West Hollywood and made considerable investments to restore it to the original condition. The Storer House's squarish relief ornament then became the company logo of Silver Pictures. In 1986 he purchased the long-neglected C. Leigh Stevens [[Auldbrass Plantation]], in [[Yemassee, South Carolina]], which "catapulted him into joyous rounds of restoration and building". However he once said: “I ''buy'' art - I don't ''make'' it. == Producer credits == <div style="-moz-column-count:3;column-count:3"> *''[[Ninja Assassin]]'' (TBA) *''[[Masters of the Universe]]'' (2009) *''[[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer]]'' (2008) *''[[Moonlight (TV series)|Moonlight]]'' (TV) (2007) *''[[Fred Claus]]'' (2007) *''[[Return to House on Haunted Hill]]'' (2007) *''[[The Brave One (2007 film)|The Brave One]]'' (2007) *''[[The Invasion]]'' (2007) *''[[The Reaping]]'' (2007) *''[[V for Vendetta (film)|V for Vendetta]]'' (2005) *''[[Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang]]'' (2005) *''[[House of Wax (2005 film)|House of Wax]]'' (2005) *''[[Veronica Mars]]'' (TV) (2004) *''Bet Your Life (TV) (2004) *''[[Next Action Star]]'' (TV) (2004) *''[[Newton]]'' (TV) (2003) *''[[Gothika]]'' (2003) *''[[The Matrix Revolutions]]'' (2003) *''[[Enter the Matrix]]'' (Video game) (2003) *''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'' (2003) *''[[The Animatrix]]'' (2003) *''[[Cradle 2 the Grave]]'' (2003) *''[[Ghost Ship (film)|Ghost Ship]]'' (2002) *''[[Ritual]]'' (2001) *''Jane Doe'' (2001) *''[[The Matrix Revisited]]'' (2001) *''[[Thir13en Ghosts]]'' (2001) *''[[Osmosis Jones]]'' (2001) *''[[Swordfish (movie)|Swordfish]]'' (2001) *''[[Proximity]]'' (2001) *''[[Exit Wounds]]'' (2001) *''[[Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie]]'' (2000) *''Freedom'' (TV) (2000) *''[[Romeo Must Die]]'' (2000) *''[[House on Haunted Hill]]'' (1999) *''The Strip (TV) (1999) *''[[Action (TV series)|Action]]'' (TV) (1999) *''[[Made Men]]'' (1999) *''[[The Matrix]]'' (1999) *''[[Lethal Weapon 4]]'' (1998) *''[[Double Tap]]'' (1997) *''[[Conspiracy Theory (movie)|Conspiracy Theory]]'' (1997) *''[[Perversions of Science]]'' (TV) (1997) *''[[Fathers' Day (movie)|Fathers' Day]]'' (1997) *''[[Bordello of Blood]]'' (1996) *''[[Executive Decision]]'' (1996) *''[[Fair Game]]'' (1995) *''[[Assassins (film)|Assassins]]'' (1995) *''W.E.I.R.D.
