After graduating from UCLA he worked as a TV co-producer with Steven Bochco until directing the 80s series "Hill Street Blues" (1981) and _"LA Law" (1986)_. He made his film directorial debut with the psychological thriller Primal Fear (1996) followed by Fallen (1998), Frequency (2000), and the WWII drama Hart's War (2002), starring Bruce Willis .

Trivia

Graduated from Berkeley High School, Berkeley, California in 1962

Pioneered the 'loose camera' look, used constantly during the first 2 seasons of "NYPD Blue" and then reduced by half after that due to its causing distraction from the storyline - as well as potential viewer problems similar to one reading a book while riding in a moving vehicle. This technique has recently been revived, however, on the big screen, in the 2007 release "The Bourne Ultimatum".
