VINCENT McEVEETY- This director bounced between forgettable Disney live-action films and series TV his whole career. If you ever remember being so bored by a movie or TV show on a Saturday afternoon that you give up channel-surfing and finally decide to do something HEALTHY for yourself, chances are this director drove you to it. No personal style, unless you can always tell when a director is shooting JUST what the producers and the studio want him to. Subsequently, this non-acclaimed director of treacle like Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, $1,000,000 Duck, The Castaway Cowboy, Superdad, and Gus took even his own chances with series like Star Trek and The Fugitive and made them so dull as to put you off TV for the rest of the day (at least).

Fortunately, his son Stephen rebelled and went on to produce slightly more substantial, flavorful films like Braveheart, What Women Want, We Were Soldiers and The Passion of the Christ. (Yes, anything Stephen McEveety puts his money into, Mel Gibson will be there.)
