Mark BurnettMark Burnett had no master plan to become the king of unscripted TV drama. It just sort of happened, he says, because he was in the right place at the right time with the right idea. "I had no way of knowing when I started," says the creator and executive producer of Survivor, The Apprentice and many other competition-based reality shows, "that it would spawn an entire industry." It all began in the 1990s when Burnett, a British paratrooper-turned-Hollywood-nanny-turned-millionaire entrepreneur, was craving more action in his life.
