The Apprentice
In 2011, Eastwood appeared on The seventh series of The Apprentice. He started out well, shining individually despite being on the losing team for the first three of four tasks. He cam to prominace after making a fellow candidate change thier mind about bringing Jim into the boardroom. Eastwood then started to drift off for the next few tasks only just avoiding being fired in week 5 due to making a poor product naming decision. From the he was branded "evil" because of his seemingly change in tactics to be more agressive which lead to many reacting negativly towards him. Eastwood then eventually made the final despite losing twice as project manager and was tipped by previous candidates to go on to win. However despite being dubbed "The World's Greatest Salesman" by Lord Sugar, he failed to win as the interviwers considered his buisness plan to be just a result of Eastwood trying to "curry favour" with Lord Sugar.

After The Apprentice
After The Apprentice, Eastwood set up his own career as a public speaker. His nickname has also become featured on a t-shirt design, which was shown on The Apprentice: You're Hired! and given by Eastwood to host, Dara Ó Briain.
