Episodes Broadcast: 2011
New York City native Gwyneth Horder-Payton was born into a family which
had been part of the Hollywood firmament since the days of her British
grandfather, Victor McLaglen, a two-time Academy Award winner for his
acting. Horder-Payton aimed to emulate her uncle, director Andrew V
McLaglen, and she began her career in the mid-Eighties as an assistant
director on movies like The Doors, Hellraiser: Bloodline
and Homeward Bound II: Lost In San Francisco. By the late
Nineties, she had begun to concentrate on television, earning credits on
shows including The Magnificent Seven, Grey's Anatomy and
The Shield. Horder-Payton's first opportunity to direct came on
the latter in 2006, and she was soon working in this capacity on such
programmes as Criminal Minds and Sons Of Anarchy.
In 2011, Horder-Payton directed two episodes of the Doctor Who
spin-off Torchwood, which the BBC was co-producing with Starz, an
American network. Amongst her other credits during the 2010s were
Once Upon A Time, American Horror Story and 9-1-1,
while she was both a director and a co-executive producer on the
political drama Tyrant. During the Twenties, Horder-Payton
likewise tackled directing and production duties on Big Sky.
