Trivia: Sean Astin was cast as Lynn McGill after he learned he and Joel Surnow shared the same chiropractor; they both happened to be visiting the office at the same time, so the doctor asked Astin if he would like to meet Surnow, who in turn asked if was interested in appearing on the show.

General questions
1st Apr 2009
Chosen answer: In the same way as you direct a normal film. The director is responsible for taking the script and turning into a visual depiction of the story being told - they determine the artistic and dramatic elements of the piece, giving the world depicted in the script a visual and audible form. In a live action film, they'll be working with lighting people, cameramen and so forth to ensure that the look of the scene matches their vision. With an animated film, they're doing the same thing, but are working with the animators instead. The basic principle is no different.
