Jerry Zucker (born March 11, 1950) is an American director, known for comedy spoof films, and the hit film Ghost.
Zucker was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of Charlotte (d. 2007) and Burton Zucker, who was a real estate developer. He graduated from Shorewood High School.
Zucker's early career work started with Jim Abrahams and brother David Zucker at the Kentucky Fried Theatre on Pico Blvd in West Los Angeles where they honed their comedic skills doing skits in front of a live audience. From there the three went on and together co-directed Airplane! in 1980 and then went on to do Top Secret! in 1984, and Ruthless People in 1986. In 1990, he lent his directorial skills to the dramatic genre with Ghost, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. Recent directorial efforts of Zucker's include the 2001 film Rat Race (which re-teamed him with Ghost star Whoopi Goldberg).
Like his brother David Zucker, Jerry often cast his mother, Charlotte (who died in 2007), and his sister, Susan Breslau, in small roles in his films. Along with Jim Abrahams, the Zuckers constitute the "ZAZ" team of directors. 제리 주커(1950년생, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) 는 제작자로, 대표작으로 에어플레인, 총알탄 사나이, 프렌즈 위드 베네핏이 있으며, 그 외에도 총알탄 사나이 3, 내 남자친구의 결혼식, 총알탄 사나이 2, 구름 속의 산책, 카멜롯의 전설, 노브레인 레이스, 특급 비밀, 페어게임, 마이 라이프, 디어 덤 다이어리, Unconditional Love, Brain Donors 등 다양한 작품을 제작했다.
