Starting in the late '90s and into the 21st century, director Jay Roach was one of the most revered comedy directors in Hollywood. Having helmed every installment of the "Austin Powers" franchise, as well as the hit comedy "Meet the Parents" (and the lesser sequel that followed), Roach found great success in bringing lots of laughter to the big screen.

Though his comedic presence dwindled with underperforming comedies like "Dinner for Schmucks" and "The Campaign," Roach tapped into his serious side with dramas like the Sarah Palin-centric "Game Change," the historical Hollywood drama "Trumbo," and the Roger Ailes takedown "Bombshell."
