When I auditioned for Steps, we had to dance to a demo of 5,6,7,8. I remember thinking: âThank God itâs a line dance.â I wasnât a trained dancer and learning a proper routine would have probably scuppered my chances.

He got his act together enough to attend and graduate from Cambridge, after which he landed a job working at Granada Television s
World in Action, an investigative news show deeply rooted in the British documentary movement for which he spent nine years 1978 through 1987 traveling the world writing, shooting and editing segments. That was really my education, he says.

The directorâs kinetic, naturalistic style of film-making â which enlivened and defined the Jason Bourne franchise â was forged by the directorâs âripped-from-the-headlinesâ subjects. He learned his craft working on Granada Televisionâs investigative current-affairs series World in Action during the 1980s.
Resurrected, his 1989 debut feature, concerned the court-martial of an MIA soldier (David Thewlis) in the Falklands. Other notable early projects included The Fix (1997), a drama concerning the British football betting scandal of 1964; and The Murder of Stephen Lawrence (1999), an account of the youngsterâs death and the inadequate subsequent investigation by the London Metropolitan Police.
