I passed him in the halls and ate in the executive dining room in his general presence, but never
met him met him. In fact, he was very aloof. I had greater, more frequent contact as a lesser employee with the big three at DreamWorks than I ever had with Eisner at Disney. He was not seen as a 'team player' kind of guy and really played the role of 'king in his castle' to the hilt. Granted, when I was there, they were enduring both his cancer and the Ovitz debacle as well as shuttering the Hollywood Pictures division and still choking on ABC, so it was certainly a time for getting behind closed doors.
