Barry Levinson's first writing work was for variety shows such as The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine, The Lohman and Barkley Show, The Tim Conway Show, and The Carol Burnett Show. After some success as a screenwriter — notably the Mel Brooks comedies Silent Movie and High Anxiety and the Oscar-nominated script …And Justice for All — Levinson began his career as a director with Diner, for which he had also written the script and which earned him a Best Screenplay Oscar nomination.
His biggest hit, both critically and financially, was Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise (in which Levinson also appeared as an actor). The film won four Academy Awards including Best Director for Levinson.
