Fr. O’Brien shaped many minds in film world

Jesuit Father Jack O’Brien started up the Department of Communication Arts in 1965 at Loyola College in Montreal. He died Nov. 7 at age 91.

There was one happy Jesuit in the background of a lot of your favourite movies, TV shows and broadcast journalism through the last 40 years. Smiling Fr. Jack O’Brien didn’t produce The Fifth Estate, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Bon Cop Bad Cop or Law and Order. He did, however, produce the minds that made those shows great.
