Director Roger Michell

When you make an intimate family drama, sometimes you get tattooed with your co-stars and director. See the tattoos that Susan Sarandon encouraged her co-star Rainn Wilson and director Roger Michell to get. Sam Neill, always the gentleman, refrains from bearing his ink.

Quotes
Your job as a director is to serve the story. I don't think it's the job of a director in any medium to wave at the audience and say, hey, don't forget about me, I did an important thing here as well! You should make the play shine and make the actors shine. You should be invisible.
