Também conhecido como: James Lawrence Brooks
ames Lawrence Brooks (Nova Iorque, 9 de maio de 1940) é um diretor, roteirista e produtor de cinema e televisão norte-americano. Crescendo em North Bergen, Nova Jérsei, Brooks passava seu tempo lendo e escrevendo. Depois de sair da Universidade de Nova Iorque, ele consenseguiu um emprego como arrumador na CBS, posteriormente passando a escrever para a CBS News. Ele mudou-se para Los Angeles em 1965, trabalhando nos documentários de David L. Wolper. Após ser demitido, Brooks conheceu o produtor Allan Burns, que lhe arranjou um emprego como roteirista na série My Mother the Car.
Brooks escreveu para vários programas antes de ser chamado para trabalhar em My Friend Tony, mais tarde criando Room 222. Grant Tinker contratou Brooks e Burns na MTM Enterprises para criar The Mary Tyler Moore Show em 1970. O programa, um dos primeiros a ter uma mulher trabalhadora independente como protagonista, foi um enorme sucesso e ele venceu vários Emmy do Primetime. Brooks e Burns acabariam por criar dois spin-offs de Mary Tyler Moore: Rhoda (uma comédia) e Lou Grant (um drama). Ele deixou a MTM em 1978 para co-criar Taxi que, apesar de ter vencido vários Emmys, sofreu de baixos índices de audiência e foi cancelada em duas ocasiões.
Brooks então chegou ao cinema escrevendo e co-produzindo Starting Over em 1979. Seu projeto seguinte foi o aclamado Laços de Ternura, que ele produziu, escreveu e dirigiu, vencendo um Oscar por todas as posições. Baseando-se em suas experiências como jornalista, ele realizou Broadcast News, recebendo outras duas indicações ao Oscar. Seus filmes seguintes foram I'll Do Anything e Melhor É Impossível. Após sete anos, ele voltou ao cinema com Espanglês. Seus sexto filme, How Do You Know, foi lançado em 2010. Brooks também produziu Say Anything… e Bottle Rocket.
Apesar de não ter planejado, Brooks voltou para a televisão em 1987 como produtor de The Tracey Ullman Show. Ele contratou o cartunista Matt Groening para criar uma série de curtas para o programa, que eventualmente levou a criação de The Simpsons em 1989. A série venceu inúmeros prêmios e ainda está sendo exibida. Brooks também co-produziu e co-escreveu em 2007 a adaptação cinematográfica do programa, Os Simpsons: o Filme. No total, Brooks já foi indicado 47 vezes ao Emmy, vencendo em vinte ocasiões.
Filhos: Amy Brooks, Chloe Brooks, Cooper Brooks
