Danny Cannon - Exec Producer / Director

Several years ago, Danny Cannon came to film producer Jerry Bruckheimer's attention after the film producer saw his debut feature film “The Young Americans.” When Bruckheimer made his foray into television, he wanted to bring cinema to the small screen and thought of Cannon.

Cannon, who grew up in North London, began his career as a theatre actor. While working with a small repertory company, he directed several short films featuring his fellow actors. Acclaimed film director Alan Parker saw Cannon's work and championed the young director (he was just 19) in BBC Showreel, an annually televised competition. After Cannon took first prize, Parker persuaded him to enroll at the prestigious National Film and TV School.

In addition to “The Young Americans,” starring Harvey Keitel and Viggo Mortensen, Cannon has also directed “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester Stallone, “Phoenix,” starring Ray Liotta, Angelica Houston and Giovanni Ribisi, and “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,” starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Cannon has also directed a number of commercials and rock videos.
