Born September 10, 1958, Spangler, Pennsylvania is an American film producer, director, screenwriter, and actor.

Since childhood, he was fond of horror films, comics and monsters and dreamed of doing comics in the future. But while in high school, he discovered a passion for video filming and decided to focus his efforts on creating a career in filmmaking. He went to New York, where he enrolled in the Tisch School of the Arts, and began directing short films and writing scripts.

Soon after, Columbus wrote the script for The Gremlins, which Steven Spielberg became seriously interested in. In 1984, the film of the same name was shot, where Spielberg acted as an executive producer.

Columbus made his directorial debut in 1987's mid-budget comedy The Adventures of a Babysitter. In 1989 he wrote the script for the cartoon "Little Nimo: Adventures in the Land of Dreams".

In 1990, Columbus released the family Christmas comedy, Home Alone, starring Macaulay Culkin. The film grossed more than $ 500 million worldwide, and in early 1992 ranked third in the ranking of the most successful films of all time. In the same year, he filmed a sequel to the film - "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York". Since the 1990s, both films have traditionally been screened every year during the Christmas and New Year holidays in many countries around the world.

In 2013, he co-authored the novel House of Secrets with Ned Vizzini.

Columbus's subsequent directorial work includes notable films such as Mrs. Doubtfire and The Bicentennial. He also directed two parts of Harry Potter - "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (2001) and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (2002).
