They were all pretty good role models and people to aspire to. So all those people – Dan Attias, Steve Robman, Ruben Garcia, and Larry Teng – they were all front of mind for me when I was in preparation of doing this for the first time. They were just good, kind people who carried a crew along well. They elevated the media when they were around, and they cared about performance they cared about the visuals. Steve and Dan were two people who, even back when television wasn’t aspiring to what it aspires to now creatively, were just incredible artists, and they checked all those boxes.
He’s great with story.Īnd then I think back to Party of Five I was lucky to work with a guy named Dan Attias, and another guy named Steve Robman. That was invaluable, because he’s, he just checks all the boxes.
He’s just the greatest guy, an incredible director, was incredibly gracious, and let me shadow him during his entire block, so I was able to be around all the time and see every part of the production process through his eyes. Then there’s Ruben Garcia, who has directed a handful of our episodes, who I shadowed last year. He has everything to do with how this show looks, how it’s shot, what the visual ground rules are, and what the templates are, and so not only did I count on him for advice and counsel and guidance and mentorship, but I probably watched his shows more than anything else in preparation, just in terms of understanding what this show is aiming for. Larry Teng, who is our Producing Director around here… he directed the pilot and has directed a bunch of our episodes… he’s a friend, and a mentor.
the biggest influences have been my recent ones on this show. Obviously, television as a medium has grown more ambitious, and the shows that I’ve been a part of has been far more ambitious and creative and artful, so now it’s become more and more incumbent upon directors to come in and really have a vision, and be a filmmaker, and have a pretty incredible template in terms of what production elements are available to you, so the job just looks more and more fun over the years. Over the years, I think that’s changed a ton. It didn’t feel like you could really make a mark and express a vision. This cast has been playing these characters, so they know that part, and this crew’s here week in and week out, so the production part of it is theirs, and, you just kind of come in and move cameras around for for seven days and then head out. It just seemed like it’s someone else’s story. I’ve been part of making hundreds of episodes of television, and so, I’ve gotten to work with tons of different directors.Īs a younger actor, to be honest, when I started out with the first shows I was doing, I think generally television as a medium was less ambitious, so there were a bunch of times where didn’t necessarily look like the most fun and artful job in the world. Tons! I’ve been very lucky to over the years.
That was two years ago, and that began a process that led to ultimately them giving me my first chance.ĭid you have any influences or mentors in directing? I was paying attention and I was curious about everything, but I just had never thought I wanted to do that. There was just something about the level of artistry and creative ambition that just kicked that door open for me, so I went from a person who, for years, people have been like, “why haven’t you directed ever?” and I was always that person on set who had a very kind of macro sensibility about production. There were a lot of reasons why I think I didn’t raise my hand before, but I think I found myself this show, feeling so excited about what it was creatively and so excited to be a part of it. SCOTT WOLF: A couple of years ago, about halfway through our first season, I raised my hand, and let the producers of the show know that I wanted to direct, and that was something that I had never done before. KSITETV’s CRAIG BYRNE: How did it come about for you to direct an episode of Nancy Drew? To promote the December 10 episode, KSiteTV’s Craig Byrne was able to talk to Scott Wolf about the momentous installment. Wolf, who plays Nancy’s father Carson Drew on The CW’s Nancy Drew, went behind the camera for tonight’s midseason finale “The Voices in the Frost” – and fans will certainly agree he did a fantastic job.

Scott Wolf has been a well-liked fixture on our TV and movie screens for three decades – some of us are even old enough to remember Double Dragon – but with numerous hit television series to his credit, he’s never directed an episode of TV before… until now.
