Tony Scott (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Anthony D. L. "Tony" Scott (born June 21, 1944) is an English film director. His films include Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, True Romance, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, Man on Fire and Deja Vu. His elder brother is fellow film director Ridley Scott. Born in Stockton-on-Tees in North East England, Tony Scott's first foray into filmmaking was not from behind the camera, but rather in front of it. At the age of 16, Tony appeared in Boy and Bicycle, a short film marking the directorial debut of his then 23 year-old brother Ridley. He followed in his elder brother's footsteps, studying at Grangefield School, West Hartlepool College of Art and Sunderland Art School, the last for a fine arts degree. He subsequently graduated from the Royal College of Art, fully intending to become a painter. It was only the success of his elder brother's fledging television commercial production outfit, Ridley Scott Associates (RSA), that turned his attentions towards film.
