Justin Chadwick

Justin Chadwick fascinates me precisely because he crossed the line from acting into directing. Anyone who can helm nine of the fifteen episodes of the BBC's Bleak House has the stamina and craft to wrestle Dickens onto the screen, and that is no small feat. Coming up through workhorse British series like EastEnders and Spooks, he learned the rhythm of a set from inside the frame before commanding it. I have a soft spot for directors who once stood where the actors stand. They tend to understand performance from the bones outward, and that empathy usually shows in the finished work.
