Michael Moore Fast Facts:
  • Briefly enrolled in a Roman Catholic seminary when he was 14.
  • At 18, became one of the youngest publicly elected officials in U.S. history when he won a seat on the Flint, MI, school board.
  • In 1976, founded both a crisis-intervention center and an alternative newspaper, The Flint Voice, which later became The Michigan Voice.
  • Started his own production company, Dog Eat Dog Films, in 1986; three years later, made his feature-film debut with the acclaimed documentary Roger and Me.
  • In the mid-'90s, created the series TV Nation, an irreverent newsmagazine for which Moore served as writer, director and correspondent; it ran for a few episodes on NBC in 1994, then was briefly revived by Fox the following year.
  • Returned to the public eye in 2002 with Bowling for Columbine, an examination of gun-control laws in the wake of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings.
  • Courted controversy with 2004's Fahrenheit 9/11, which criticized the Bush administration's policies following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; it became the highest-grossing documentary ever, taking in nearly $120 million in the U.S. alone.
  • Ran afoul of the U.S. Treasury Department over a possible trade embargo violation when he traveled to Cuba to shoot scenes for Sicko (2007), a biting critique of the American health care system.
