Highly accomplished commercial director, doing some of the early Apple ads and one with a young John Waller for Cadbury's short lived Amazin' Raisin bar (inadvertently a major turning point for medieval reenacting and HEMA), turned auteur, Sir Ridley Scott (he doesn't use the title as it makes him "sound like an old man") is a British director. Known for an obsession with visual detail rivaling Stanley Kubrick, if not Alfred Hitchcock. Several of his early works helped establish the popularity of the Used Future trope. Older brother of director Tony Scott. He has worked with an incredibly wide variety of genres and budgets, yet somehow maintains his own special touch through it all.
