A native of England, producer Ian Bryce started out as a production assistant on “Return of the Jedi” before going on to carve out a career highlighted by box office smash hits. In 1999, he won a Golden Globe Award and earned both Academy Award® and BAFTA nominations for his work as a producer on the widely acclaimed World War II drama “Saving Private Ryan.” No stranger to big action adventure films, he produced the mega-blockbuster “Spider-Man,” as well as “Transformers,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” and is currently working on “Transformers: The Last Knight.” Bryce has also produced “Almost Famous,” “Hancock,” “Speed,” “Twister,” and “Forces of Nature.” In recent years, he produced the dark comedy “Pain and Gain,” the action thriller “World War Z,” the comedic drama “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” and an upcoming satire, “War Machine.” Bryce, who has a first look deal with Paramount Pictures, is also at work on several projects in development.

Listening to Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians on radio, and later, watching them on TV, was a ritual in many homes across the country on New Year’s Eve. Lombardo’s orchestra played at the Roosevelt Grill in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City from 1929 (radio’s first nationwide New Year’s eve broadcast) to 1959, and from then until 1976 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Because of the popularity of the show, Lombardo was called, “Mr. New Year’s Eve”.
