2007 Best Comedy Directing Emmy: Richard Shepard, ‘Ugly Betty’

Richard Shepard is no stranger to directing, both for the small screen and the big ones. In addition to taking on last year’s pilot for the ABC dramedy Ugly Betty, he has also directed an episode of the CBS FBI procedural Criminal Minds, as well as a Hollywood release I enjoyed a lot when […]
