In 1996, Hollywood star Tom Cruise portrayed Steinberg in the comedy-drama "Jerry Maguire," alongside Renée Zellweger and Cuba Gooding Jr., among others, in a story that mapped out the situational representation of top talent in cutthroat industries like the NFL and MLB. "I think that it humanized sports agents in the minds of the public and showed that there’s caring that goes on," Steinberg told Fox News Digital of the classic film, which garnered over $150 million at the box office.
