Victor Saville

biography:
Victor Saville (25 September 1895, Birmingham, England – 8 May 1979, London) was an English film director, producer and screenwriter. He directed 39 films between 1927 and 1954. He also produced 36 films between 1923 and 1962.

He produced his first film, Woman to Woman, with Michael Balcon in 1923, and on the back of its success produced pictures for the veteran director Maurice Elvey, including the classic British silent Hindle Wakes (1927). His first picture as director was The Arcadians (1927). In 1929 he and Balcon worked together again on a talkie remake of Woman to Woman for Balcon's company, Gainsborough Pictures. This time Saville directed it.

From 1931, as Gainsborough Pictures and the Gaumont British Picture Corporation joined forces, Saville produced a string of comedies, musicals and dramas for Gainsborough and Gaumont-British, including the popular Jessie Matthews pictures. In 1937, he left to set up his own production company, Victor Saville Productions, and made three pictures for Alexander Korda's London Films at Denham studios.

As an independent producer he had purchased the film rights to A. J. Cronin's novel The Citadel. He was persuaded to sell them to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in return for the chance to produce the film and another big-budget adaptation, Goodbye Mr Chips (1939). Both films starred Robert Donat and were a great success in the USA as well as in Britain, providing Saville with a passport to Hollywood.

When the war broke out in 1939, Saville was in America and was advised to remain there. He produced pictures in support of the war effort, such as The Mortal Storm and Forever and a Day (1943) (in which he worked for the last time with his former star Jessie Matthews), and in 1945 Tonight and Every Night, based on the history of the Windmill Theatre in London.

After the war Saville continued directing films for MGM but eventually returned to Britain. Saville acquired production rights for Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer mysteries and produced a few features, though Spillane thought he was interested in doing so only to acquire the money to produce The Silver Chalice. He produced two final films in the 1960s, The Greengage Summer (1961), adapted from the novel of the same name, and Mix Me a Person (1962).

Shooting Stars

overview: Shooting Stars is a British television comedy panel game broadcast on BBC Two as a pilot in 1993, then as 3 full series from 1995 to 1997, then on BBC Choice from January to December 2002 with 2 series before returning to BBC Two for another 3 series from 2008 until its cancellation in 2011.

Soccer AM

overview:
Soccer AM is a British Saturday-morning football-based comedy/talk show, predominantly based around the Premier League. Originally presented by Jane Hoffen, Gary Stevens and Russ Williams, they lasted just a year before Helen Chamberlain and Tim Lovejoy replaced them, where Lovejoy served for over a decade. He has since been replaced by Andy Goldstein and, more recently, Max Rushden. The show has been aired on Sky Sports 2 each Saturday morning of the football season since 1995 from 7:00am or 9:00am to noon originally and currently between 10:00am and 12:00pm. In early 2009, the 500th episode was broadcast. Although the show is filmed live from 2010 it has been broadcast on a momentary delay due to bad language and/or inappropriate content from certain guests.

The show's current sponsor is Procter & Gamble through their Head & Shoulders brand. The show was previously sponsored by Frijj, a brand of milkshake, after Dairy Crest signed a £2 million sponsorship deal.

Parts of the show have remained since the beginning, whilst new items have been introduced each season. In that respect, it is almost the same every week, the difference being new football footage and comedy skits. Every week sees a new group of celebrity guests, generally featuring at least one footballer who is free on the Saturday, and a mix of musicians, TV personalities, and other sportsmen.

Bu rol, onun yoğun ve güçlü oyunculuk tarzının bir simgesi haline geldi.

Kariyeri boyunca "In America" (2002), "My Summer of Love" (2004) gibi dramalardaki rolleriyle eleştirmenlerin beğenisini kazandı. Aynı zamanda Edgar Wright'ın yönettiği "Sıkı Aynasızlar" (Hot Fuzz) (2007) ve "The World's End" (2013) gibi komedi filmlerindeki performanslarıyla da çok yönlülüğünü kanıtladı. "Son Ültimatom" (The Bourne Ultimatum) (2007) gibi Hollywood yapımlarında da yer aldı.

Oyunculuğun yanı sıra yönetmenlik ve senaristlik de yapan Considine, 2011 yılında yazıp yönettiği ilk uzun metraj filmi "Tiranazor" (Tyrannosaur) ile büyük bir başarıya imza attı. Film, BAFTA da dahil olmak üzere çok sayıda ödül kazandı ve onun yönetmenlik yeteneğini de gözler önüne serdi.

Televizyon kariyerinde ise "Peaky Blinders" ve HBO dizisi "The Outsider" gibi projelerde önemli roller üstlendi. Ancak dünya çapındaki şöhretini, HBO'nun fenomen dizisi "House of the Dragon"da (2022) canlandırdığı 'Kral I. Viserys Targaryen' karakteriyle zirveye taşıdı. Bu roldeki trajik ve güçlü performansı, ona Altın Küre adaylığı getirdi ve eleştirmenler tarafından ayakta alkışlandı.

Canlandırdığı karakterlere getirdiği ham ve dürüst duygu yoğunluğuyla tanınan Paddy Considine, günümüzün en saygın İngiliz aktörlerinden ve sinemacılarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir.
