I'm a Canadian director, writer and actor known as the creator of body horror. I directed The Fly, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, eXistenZ, Shivers, The Brood, Dead Ringers and Rabid, and acted in Star Trek, Jason X, Nightbreed and Alias among others. I'm an physicalist and existentialist. I mostly don't fear death, depends on the time of day. I'm thoughtful, reserved, introspective, and value privacy. I'm a husband and father of 3. 2 of them, Brandon and Caitlin, are also directors.
