He is best known for composing the screenplay to Disney's award-winning movie Remember the Titans, a film chronicling the real life story of the racial barrier-breaking T.C. Williams High School football team recognized as the sports force to incite community integration in its notoriously Deep South-segregated Alexandria, Virginia, of 1971.
