Ridley Scott
Sir
Ridley Scott is a
film director. He was born
November 30,
1939, in the
United Kingdom. Having cut his teeth on television commercials — most notably one for
Apple Macintosh computers titled
1984 — he graduated to
Hollywood, where he has produced a number of extremely famous films. His striking visual style, incorporating a detailed approach to production design and innovative, atmospheric lighting, has been tremendously influential to an entire subsequent generation of filmmakers — many of whom have simply imitated him outright.
Scott has been nominated for three Academy Awards for Directing. He was knighted in the 2003 New Year Honours.
