Volume 1 (1999)
He provided Helen Hermann with many quotas for the extras in the crew of his new movie Gladiator when he learnt that she had opened her own talent agency. During the filming, he also gave her the role of the German brigand leader after the previously casted actor proved to be a hassle. He was quite satisfied with the small actor named Matthew Horner whom Helen Hermann chose to play the role.

Volume 3 (2001)
Helen Hermann's client Matthew Horner once again played an important role in his new movie Black Hawk Down. Throughout the shooting, he was very satisfied with Matthew since he was always the hardest worker on the set and did all his action sequences himself, saving the crew a lot of work. He also praised Matthew Horner in front of Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of Black Hawk Down.
