General info :
Michael Grillo (born 1945 or 1946) is an American film producer.
He was an executive producer on Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Ant-Man.
Grillo has been involved in more than 100 feature films, alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood — from Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder and Martin Scorsese early on to Richard Donner, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis and Ridley Scott in later years.

He is the former head of production for DreamWorks. When DreamWorks formed in the mid-1990s, Grillo was hired as the studio’s first head of feature film production. He oversaw production on all of DreamWorks’ live-action movies from 1996 to 2006, including the studio’s first film, The Peacemaker. He also served as the movie’s executive producer.

Michael Grillo is a 1971 alumnus of the California State University Northridge where he earned a degree in Business Administration.
After earning his degree, Grillo decided to explore Europe for six months.

He started taking film classes at UCLA and making Super 8 movies on weekends. He eventually got a job in the Universal Studios mailroom and got into the training program on the second try.

That program led to hands-on training on TV sets, including work on The Six Million Dollar Man, Kojak and McMillan & Wife.
With experience, more credits and meeting the right people, Grillo transitioned from assistant directing to producing.

He has maintained a residence in the Los Angeles area for decades.
