Frank Capello, screenwriter and director, began his career starting a special effects and animation company, but eventually made his way into Hollywood by writing screenplays. His early directorial projects allowed him to work with newcomers Viggo Mortensen and Russell Crowe. It was his talent at writing that turned this independent filmmaker into a major studio scribe, writing on Richard Donner's Timeline, adapting the Tom Clancy novel Rainbow Six, and Constantine for Warner Brothers.
