(1966)
American actor and director, born in New York.
Films (director): Lion's Den (1992), Public Access (1993), The usual suspects (1995), Apt pupil (1998), X-men (2000)
After attending the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and the University of Southern California, Singer made a first film called Lion's Den with actor Ethan Hawke. His first feature, Public Access shared the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 1992 with Ruby in Paradise.
Singer's second feature, the surprise film noir hit The Usual Suspects, earned Kevin Spacey his first Academy Award and Best Screenplay for Christopher McQuarrie. The fictional character Keyser Soze entered the public vocabulary and Singer entered the big time. Although his follow-up film, Apt Pupil died at the box office, its off-kilter tale of a high school boy's research into a neighbor's Nazi past did offer Singer the chance to work with Ian McKellan.
"I don't always know with Bryan what he's been getting at, where he's precisely going, until I've seen the dailies or the complete film," Sir Ian told the New York Times. "He always has a vision of what he wants, but it's a rather private thing. More than any director I know of, you're on a roller coaster with Bryan. You're racing along but you don't quite know where you're going. With other directors you're following a map. Not with Bryan. He works in the moment. He eschews planning and rehearsals. This might be very alarming for some actors. Not for me."
