Biography

Carrière d'acteur
Katsumoto a eu une très brève carrière d'acteur. En 1990, il joue un garçon de café dans un épisode de la série télé Dallas et la même année, il joue un rôle mineur dans le film Bienvenue au Paradis où il joue le rôle de Kenji.


Producteur
Débuts dans la série télévisée
En 2000, il commence une carrière de producteur dans le dessin animé. Il fait partie du casting de production du film Le Lion d'Oz. Deux ans plus tard, il est un des producteurs exécutifs de la série animée Galidor:Defenders of the Outer Dimension qui durera deux saisons. Katsumoto produit une autre série : Les Décalés du cosmos où il est producteur exécutif de trois épisode et chargé de la production durant un épisode.


Production cinématographique
En 2006, Katsumoto se lance dans la production cinématographique en produisant Cendrillon et le Prince (pas trop) charmant. Néanmoins, le film est un échec cuisant autant commercial que critique. Ce premier revers est dur pour LionsGate, perdant beaucoup d'argent. Deux ans plus tard, il revient à la série télévisée avec la double casquette de producteur et producteur exécutif avec la série Speed Racer:The next generation, produite par différentes personnalités de LionsGate ainsi que Larry Schwartz.

En 2010, Katsumoto revient dans le cinéma d'animation en produisant Alpha et Oméga, projet dans lequel Katsumoto va s'investir, premier film du contrat passé entre LionsGate et les studios de la Crest Animation Productions pour trois films d'animation en image de synthèse. Comparé à sa première production, Alpha et Oméga est un succès pour LionsGate. Il est annoncé que Katsumoto est le producteur du second film du contrat entre la société de production canadienne et le studio américano-indien, Norm of the North, prévu pour 2012.

In 1936, Jack McGurn (Quaid) is a motion picture projectionist, involved in a campaign of harassment against non-union theaters in New York City. One such attack turns fatal, as one of his fellow union members starts a fire. McGurn's boss, knowing that the feelings of guilt would likely cause Jack to go to the police, urges him to leave the area. Jack moves to Los Angeles where his brother Gerry lives. Jack's role as a "sweatshop lawyer" strains an already-rocky relationship with Gerry who is willing to have any job, barely keeping his family afloat during the Great Depression.

T'Challa, the Prince of Wakanda, returns home to find his kingdom is being attacked by the alien Chitauri. Herr Kleiser, the alien shape-shifter who battled Captain America during World War II, kills T' Challa's father and seeks Wakanda's store of vibranium, the metal the Chitauri use to manufacture their ships and weapons. After becoming king and assuming the alias of the Black Panther, T' Challa seeks out Captain America. General Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. orders the Avengers to assemble, with the exception of Thor (who foresees a future in which the Avengers die in battle, which his father Odin confirms) and the Hulk who, as Bruce Banner, is interrogated and bullied in a cell.
