Abstract

James Burrows (1940–) knows a thing or two about camera placement. The famed sitcom director of Taxi, Cheers, Friends, and Will & Grace is one of the most prolific television directors of all time, with over one thousand episodes of TV on his resume. But Burrows didn’t always aspire to a career in television. The son of playwright/director Abe Burrows, he grew up with an inside look at the entertainment industry and wanted nothing to do with it. He changed his mind in the mid-1960s. Gary Rutkowski conducted the interview on December 17, 2003, in Los Angeles, California.
