Biography
Matthew Jay Roach (b. 1957, Albuquerque, New Mexico) graduated from Stanford University, subsequently taking a degree in film production from USC’s School of Cinema-Television (1986). His first feature, Zoo Radio (1990), focuses on two brothers in competition for career success and their inheritance. As a director of comedies, however, he entered the public consciousness with a commercially successful series of films, featuring Special Agent Austin Powers, that liberally parodies spy and action film clichés. He then moved on to the no less successful films Meet the Parents (2000) and Meet the Fockers (2004). In cooperation with HBO he has also addressed more serious topics. His documentary reconstruction Recount (2008) focused on the American election campaign of 2000. Game Change (2012) is his second film to take up the subject of contemporary American politics.
