Jon Poll

Poll is the one of three sons of the late film producer, Martin Poll.[1] He graduated from the University of Southern California's film school in 1981 before becoming a film editor.[2] Between 1982 and 2004, he edited eighteen films, including Weeds (1987), Fire Birds (1990), Cabin Boy (1994), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), Meet the Parents (2000), Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), Scary Movie 3 (2003) and Meet the Fockers (2004). He was also a co-producer on the television series TV 101, Eerie, Indiana and the film Meet the Fockers, and was an executive producer on The 40-Year-Old Virgin.[3]

Poll made his directorial debut in 2007 with the teen comedy film Charlie Bartlett. He read screenwriter Gustin Nash's film adaptation of C. D. Payne's 1993 novel Youth in Revolt and asked director Jay Roach—with whom he had previously worked on five films—if he had heard of Nash. Roach explained that he had been slated to direct another of Nash's screenplays, Charlie Bartlett, but was forced to back out of the job on the same day.[3] Roach recommended that Poll take the role as director; Poll then pitched himself to the film's producers and was hired.[3] Poll co-produced Sacha Baron Cohen's 2009 mockumentary film Brüno.

His father is film producer Martin Poll.[2][4]

He was producer for all films unless otherwise noted.
