Timothy Hutton
As a member of New York's Circle Repertory Company, Hutton originated the lead role in the Broadway Production of Craig Lucas' Prelude to a Kiss and starred in Babylon Gardens with Mary Louise Parker. In addition, Hutton appeared in the Los Angeles stage production of The Oldest Living Graduate, opposite Henry Fonda, which was later broadcast live on NBC. Hutton also directed Nicole Burdette's Busted for the New York-based theatre company, Naked Angels.
On television, Hutton produced and starred in Showtime's Mr. & Mrs. Loving, written and directed by Oscar-nominated writer Richard Friedenberg (A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT), starred as the title character in the acclaimed Aldrich Ames: Traitor Within, also for Showtime, and the docudrama WWIII for the Fox Network. After starring in A&E's highly successful Nero Wolfe: The Golden Spiders, the network went back to Hutton, who agreed to executive produce, direct and star in several additional Nero Wolfe adaptations. These highly acclaimed films premiered in Spring 2001 on A&E, with a repertoire of actors who co-star with Hutton and Maury Chaykin, and ran for two years.
Working behind the camera, Hutton has directed a number of music videos, including Drive by the Cars, Not Enough Love by Don Henley, and the Neil Young Concert Film Freedom, as well as an episode of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories, entitled Grandpa's Ghost, from a story he wrote.
