Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on filming the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasies] I am a lifelong Buster Keaton fan. I am not saying I am approaching his genius, but we are able to make things exciting and provide bits of visual humour as we do. See more »

Trivia:

Has directed two actors in Oscar-nominated performances: Ian McKellen and Stanley Tucci. See more »

Trademark:

Well known on-set for insisting on lots of coverage (filming the scene from many different angles), his attention to detail, and being a bit of a perfectionist, especially on the "Lord of the Rings" films, where he would spend days shooting a single scene. See more »
