...saying that being a street cop is easy. You have to be a social worker one day and gear up for a riot the next. You are supposed to be winsome and unruffled as you ask that drunk to stop peeing on the sidewalk. The pay is bad, and, oh, yeah, you could get killed every...

Simpson had been considered the duo's creative force, but since his death, Bruckheimer has proved himself with low-budget winners and big-budget blockbusters. Last year he pulled in nearly $280 million at domestic theaters with Gone in Sixty Seconds, Coyote Ugly and Remember...
